More than 147 million people had their personal information exposed in the huge Equifax data breach in 2017.
Victims can now check eligibility in order to submit a claim to recover money spent or lost as a result of the monumental hack.
The FTC stated this week that Equifax agreed to pay at least $575 million – up to $700 million dollars – to compensate victims whose personal data was stolen from the Equifax servers.
To check your eligibility and file a claim, visit EquifaxBreachSettlement.com. The official data breach settlement domain was registered last month, along with the .net, .org an .info as well.
If you’re a domain investor that qualifies as a claimant, your share of the settlement could include free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services; you might also be eligible for cash payments to cover expenses as a result of the breach, or free credit reports for a period of 10 years.
