Anybody notice the increase in frequency of "Experion dark web scan" commercials?

It is my understanding that the site that claims to identify if you were affected ornot is either broken, or just gives random answers.
Also, if you continje through the entire sign up process, you may be signing away your rights to a class action lawsuit against equifax. This appears to be the real purpose of the supposed help id site. Oh, heres the link to that info, sorry. https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/08/psa-no...-the-hack/

how would they know who specifically was compromised?
Shouldn't they just assume everyone in their system ?? The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Whatever the case may be, I've been intending to put a lock on my credit reports for some time. The only credit I need in the future is to refinance the house in 12-18 months. I'm taking a wait and see attitude on the rest, I already have the means to tell if my credit report has been queried. 
If they accessed personal information through an API, I'd expect an access log (if reviewed quickly enough because log rotation) to allow for some idea of compromise. If they got into a database, I would be surprised any queries were logged (with their result sets) to figure out what is exposed.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
I've now got a freeze on all three credit bureaus. This is a big fucking deal.
These jokers need to fined into bankruptcy. If you've applied for any kind of credit in the past 10 years, you are probably affected. “Understanding is a three edged sword: your side, their side, and the truth.”
