Can't imagine folks haven't heard about this. It affects some 143 million folks:

We called our banks today and cancelled our CC's and debit cards.
That has been clarified. The legalese about required arbitration and no lawsuits applies only to the use of their credit monitoring service and does not limit your right to sue over the data breach or any losses therefrom. Equifax has already agreed to make that more clear. Whether you want to trust a monitoring service owned and operated by a company that just lost your personal data is a deeper question.by signing up for the 'free' monitoring you are signing away your right to sue or become part of a class action suit.
Erroneous results from the Equifax compromise checker have been identified so I would not rely on it either way.Also, their checker tool does not work. They botched that too! Whatever it told you is probably wrong according to CNET.
