I wonder if that explains the disappearing website I ran into when trying to figure out a deal for cellular service?  I didn't give them any additional info but they bought my phone company so concievably they could already have some of that!

Interesting precedent that they'll actually be paying for their clients' credit monitoring services. Generally I don't like behemoth companies because they fell less pressure to act socially responsible, but this is a nice gesture.

^They are following in the footsteps of several other "companies" who offered this service -- otherwise I'm betting they wouldn't do it. wink.gif  

AT&T wasn't on my good list to begin with, less so now.

Why can't these companies secure their data?

Why don't we have laws in place to protect us?

Why oh why is my coffee so strong this morning? biggrin.gif
