My data was compromised in the Equifax hack. What now?

from Too Embarrassed to Ask Hosted by Recode

Security researcher Brian Krebs talks with Kara Swisher and Lauren Goode about the recent Equifax hack that exposed the confidential information of 143 million Americans. Krebs says whether or not you think your data has been compromised, it has; he recommends freezing your credit and explains what happens after a freeze is in place. He also talks about whether we can expect the government to take any meaningful action against the credit rating firms, what tech and security experts can do to make our data more secure, and why not everything you might have read about Equifax executives "golden parachutes" is true.
