I don’t know about this. They ask for the last 6 digits of the SSN. These are important. If someone knows your last 6 digits and where you were born or grew up the first three digits are easy to figure out. Ain’t worth it to check. I’m just sayin’.
Equifax is a reputable credit monitoring agency.
One of the three major ones.
The other two are Experian and Transunion.
This is where banks and businesses check your credit.
Your data is probably already in the wild because of the breech.

And once they have the first 3 digits and the last four, there’s only the middle two to guess.
