  Just got this bullshit offer from Ticketmaster for one of their breaches and they are only offering 1 year free credit monitoring.

    I read "free credit monitoring" as allowing your name to get on another list to be sold.

      Don’t worry. Their is a service that monitors your information that you give credit monitors. You just have to give them your information.

        And I’m sure they’ll delete it in two years so you’re not included in the breach 3 years from now 🙄

        Just freeze your credit. It is the simplest and easiest solution. It sucks, but it seems to be the best utensil to eat the shit sandwich we’ve been fed.

    It’s better than the previous class action which got you nothing but a slight discount on a future Ticketmaster purchase to a very select number of concerts.

  If I get to use them consecutively, I’m good for a few lifetimes.
