Company that exposed personal data gears up for new credit protection products.
Equifax, the company that handed your personal credit data to hackers, has registered at least 100 new domain names related to credit locking services the company plans to offer.
On its website, Equifax promises a new “Lock & Alert” service that will launch at the end of this month. The company’s domain registrations give more insight into what it plans to offer.
Its Lock & Alert service will be free for life, the company promises. But I suspect it will be somewhat like Transunion’s credit lock service: the goal is to eventually extract more money from you for additional services.
Consider domains like equifax2bureaulock.com and equifax3bureaulock.com that suggest you’ll be able to order a credit lock at all three bureaus through Equifax.
The company also registered domains for comparing credit locks vs. credit freezes, e.g. equifaxfreezeversuslock.com. Perhaps the company wants to offer the free freeze service so that it can charge again for its locking service.
