Due to Experian 's lack of security and lack of preventative measures my personal data including my address and Social Security number were stolen by hackers. Now my identity is out in the open and the high credit score that I have worked so hard for these past 12 years is no longer safe or in my control. Experian has the audacity to offer me fraud " protection '' from a company which they are the parent of. What makes them think I will trust them with my social security number again? They must be brought to justice on a greater scale than just a class action law suit. They must be made an example of the way that XXXX was in the oil spill with XXXX dollars in fines. As consumers we confide in corporations by providing our personal information, it is their duty to protect that information. This has become a recurring theme where data breaches lead to slaps on the wrist. They continue happening because the punishment does not get the attention of those in power. The US financial system will suffer severely if this does not come to an end. The criminals who are stealing this information know this very well and this is their intent. Attacks on our country are n't always as evident as traditional warfare but are just as serious.
