Go claim your $125 from Equifax (https://www.equifaxbreachsettlement.com/). Right now. Even if $125 isn’t a sum of money that matters to you, even if you don’t feel you were really directly affected by the breach. Even if the prospect of filling out a relatively brief online form fills you with more dread than the theft of all your personal data.
Consider it a part of your civic duty: driving up the costs of data breaches for corporations so they have an incentive to invest more heavily in security. The payouts to individuals are part of the $575 to $700 million settlement that Equifax reached with the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and 48 states. (Indiana and Massachusetts are still pursuing their own lawsuits against Equifax.)

Just click on the first hyperlink in the story (claim your $125 from Equifax) and it will take you to the Equifax Data Breach Claim Site. With the autofill feature on my computer I was able to submit a claim in less than 2 minutes and apparently I have a $125 check on its way to me as I type this. I don't know about you, but this is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!
