Side-Topic, brought up in the part about Microsoft Defender App for Apple:

Due to several other data breaches, I happen to have the Experian credit monitoring service. It only ever seems to tell me that my email address and other personal information may have been found on the Dark Web. No protections or remedies.  Otherwise, getting the credit reports every year seems to be just as good.

I’m not convinced that credit monitoring services are worth it.

I would say that anything extra involving any of the big-3 credit monitoring agencies isn’t worth it.  As it is, one of them insisted on sending me email that I didn’t want and couldn’t unsubscribe from.  Eventually they went on my block list since they were spamming me.

About the only thing they seem to do kind-of well is freezing one’s credit report, which everyone should do.  However, they’re not perfect.  Too many times, I’ve requested my free yearly credit report, only to have one of them tell me my sign-in data isn’t correct and I have to write and ask for the report.  You’d think that agencies that have such control over the kinds of info they do, that they would be held to a much higher standard–unfortunately and too often, they’re not.

I now have the 1 year Experian freebee from the ATT breach.  I’ve never subscribed to a credit monitoring service, so I’ll report back on it later.  But the Equifax breach in 2017 got me as well.  Froze my credit reports on all three C unions and monitor my FICO score monthly.
