|Updated:

Hackers stole the credit histories of over 140 million people by breaching Equifax, one of America’s three major credit reporting agencies.

You are compromised if you have ever held or applied for a credit card, bank loan, car loan, bank account, cell phone account, electric service, water service, internet service, a security clearance, most jobs, most schools, most apartment complexes, and most rental housing. In short, if you are an adult living in America today, your entire credit history has been stolen.
