Capital One targeted in massive data breach affecting more than 100 million people - Chicago Tribune
I hope so. You might now be good for life plus 100 years of free credit monitoring (surely they award that consecutively, right?). Free credit monitoring has become the go-to response whenever (and whenever again and again) some big corporation leaks your data on the network, that plus some standard disclaimer: Don't worry, it wasn't that bad, nothing important except, well…
The bank said the bulk of the hacked data consisted of information supplied by consumers and small businesses who applied for credit cards between 2005 and early 2019. In addition to data such as phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth and self-reported income, the hacker was also able to access credit scores, credit limits and balances, as well as fragments of transaction information from a total of 23 days in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
As long as that's not you, you're fine. Or might be.
