Equifax: here use this site to see how fucked you are. You: OK, I'm FUCKED! Equifax: By finding out how FUCKED you are, you sign an agreement that wiaves your right to sue You: Gee, thanks Equifax, I did not think you could go any deeper. Thanks for lowering the bar!
That checking website apparently uses a shared, free Cloudflare SSL certification so either they are even sloppier than I thought or someone is phishing.

The problem is not just that they might have your SSN, the problem is also that the US relies far too much on the unsecure method of ID that is the SSN. This was bound to happen sometime and I'm sure it will happen again. Hopefully it's a catalyst for you guys adopting more secure IDs, but I doubt it.
