[Hidden-tech] Experian Hack

[Zach Fried]

Hi Rob and HT community,

Your concerns are more valid than ever. Thanks for the reminder to be
vigilant for all our financial accounts. Ron Lieber, a client of mine, put
together a good "here's what to do" article
<https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/08/your-money/identity-theft/equifaxs-instructions-are-confusing-heres-what-to-do-now.html>
for the NY Times.

I offer a Privacy & Security Self Defense Workshop
<http://localprosper.com/services/online-security/> that may be of interest
for protecting people, as well as website and cloud security for
organizations.

Best,
Zach
