In years past, freezing your credit and then lifting that freeze on your credit whenever you wanted to apply for a loan cost money. It cost about ten to 15 dollars per freeze and lift. And so as a result, fewer people did it. I'm shocked that it wasn't a ger story than it was. So that massive equa fac data breach, which happened in 20 17, put half of the us population at risk.
