In response to public outrage over its ongoing bungled response, Equifax stated on Twitter that it will waive credit freeze fees for 30 days. With so much personal data running around out there in the wild, credit freezes are one of the only things that those affected by the Equifax breach can do to protect themselves. Equifax’s existing offer of free credit monitoring for one year is just salt in the wound considering that social security numbers are good for life.

@mariocataldo In response to consumer feedback, we are waiving fees for removing and placing Security Freezes for the next 30 days. -Tim
