and for those who don't know, to truly get your free credit reports each year, go to annual credit report .com, not free credit etc. been going to that site for years now just to keep tabs on everything, and give that info out all the time to folks.
Its not your credit card, or money card thats the issue, its the SSN which could be sold to anyone to do a bunch of fun things.

How about EZ money for deposits and withdrawals. I liked the simplicity of it but now I question the security.

Got my letter yesterday, going to sign up for the protection but the SSN part is a major concern!

If the SSNs were hashed....nothing to worry about. If they are lying about that, then your SSN will get used by criminals.

I doubt they would lie about it, as if they did it would have to be contained. That leaks and a bad situation gets a lot worse.
