There's some terrible news if you do business with consumer credit monitoring agency Equifax (or even if you don't). Your sensitive personal info — including Social Security and possibly driver's license numbers — may be in the hands of data thieves. This is arguably the worst data breach ever.

You can go to this website to see if your data was compromised.

Its a major credit agency, EVERYONES info is compromised. I'd be surprised if anyone got a message saying they weren't compromised.

My co-worker wasn't impacted, surprisingly enough.

I actually was not compromised, which was surprising.

I checked my parents for them and neither of them were compromised but I was.

Same... I also validated the link in that article... I thought it was weird that the website wasn't a part of the equifax domain even though it was branded as such... was able to get to the site provided via the equifax website, so it's a true subsidiary.
