Experian and Transunion state you can do the freeze over the phone so I guess I will try that route . But with Equifax the only other option is by mail..........what does that buy the execs more time to dump stock and make millions ???

These guys are in the business of collecting (and selling) personal information. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they weren't trying to capitalize on this by getting people to "sign up" for services like credit monitoring / freezing only to have it be essentially clickbait / phishing intended to REALLY just amass more of your personal information. Heck, if I were a conspiracy theorist I might even think they orchestrated the whole thing themselves to see how many people they could get "current" information about through creating a panic... Naaaaaah. That'd never happen. Would it?

Can I make a prediction that absolutely NOTHING will happen to any of them or their executives? Our entire political system is owned by people exactly like this (good-sounding intentions like "draining the swamp" notwithstanding).
