What do you think of free credit monitoring they offer after a breach? (moist.catsweat.com)

So here is the thing. Given the Eqifax breach I kinda feel like giving yet another agency to much information for them to monitor your credit is just another source of a possible future data breach.

Garbage. It doesn't punish them, hold them accountable, or force them to improve their security practices.

Every breach like this should automatically require a $100 cheque to every affected account holder. Two nillion accounts compromised? $200M is a real consequence.
