Are they going to waive the fees to temporarily unfreeze also?
Are they going to sponsor the fees to freeze reports at the other two bureaus too?
Not enough, and too slow. They had 5+ weeks to prepare for the consumer reaction, and all they did with that time was figure out ways to protect themselves (arbitration clause). Their website was inadequate to handle the traffic of concerned people checking, the links for people who were affected didn't work at first, the PINs were assigned using a dumb algo, and all they offered was one year of lousy credit monitoring service (plus upsell!) as if this breach was no different than Target's loss of credit card numbers. Not to mention the insider trading scandal, which is a whole other animal.
Based on the contempt this company is showing to consumers in a situation where they caused a significant amount of injury, they shouldn't survive this. In fact, I've bet heavily that they won't. I think in a few years this company will become an example for business consultants to hold up the same way Blockbuster is now
