How do we know this isn’t a phishing site?
Just paranoid, thanks.
The paranoid should stay away. The only info you need to input is first and last name and birth year, and a state.

My husband is on there. He collects social security so guess I had better sign him up for the id.me
I am on there under my previous last name from first marriage.
This stinks.
If the Mark includes any data it'll be hackable, too.
I’m wondering what the best thing to do is now? I know that my CA issued SSN has been stolen and used for illegal employment. And guess who notified me…? The IRS! So I took their recommended steps…then they [IRS] insisted that they never told me that….. Good thing I’ve kept every SINGLE TAX RETURN AND LETTERS from them!
So, besides freezing your credit what’s everyone else doing?
I think the main thing that will come out of all this is a personal identification number that is encoded into a person in some way, so that it cannot be stolen or surreptitiously used while a person is still alive. And we know exactly where that is going, and what will be the result of it.I wonder if one good thing that will come out of all of this is increased number and percentage of frozen credit when the Rapture occurs. I don't believe in coincidences, so maybe another sign of how close we are????????
Thanks TT!If you want to see if your data was part of the breach (who's wasn't, right?) you can go to this site and enter your first and last name and birth year and you can find out...

Thanks Ghoti!I'm there.
My former husband, also, but not his nursing home address.
Keeping hard copy of IRS letters/returns, and also State letters/returns.
Got identity theft PIN from IRS a long time ago (form and instructions to do this is on the irs.gov website)
I've been enrolled in LifeLock for many, many years. LL and the banks I use have all taken good care of me with this sort of thing.
Ensure my credit is still frozen and fraud alerts still in place.
Changing all my passwords. What a pain in the neck! I'm sure I'll forget something(s) . . . hopefully nothing important. Everything that can have multiple authentication does, so watching cell phone and email for unauthorized PIN texts/emails, and email for password/user name/access attempt notifications.
Monitoring accounts for unauthorized activity. Bank, cc, student loan, VA, military, law enforcement retirement plan, long-term care, life insurance, state court system websites for current and previous states, DL status, vehicle title/registration, utilities, cell phone, email, dog registration, etc. I normally do this, anyway, since my identity has been stolen so many times and info exposed in breaches, etc. so many times.
Watching for anything being done with Parents' house and their SSN. Their SSN are published on the publicly viewable list of deceased SSN (nothing else associated with the number publicly viewable) that has been available for a very long time for banks, businesses, etc. to use to prevent someone from using a dead person's SSN to establish credit, buy property, etc.
Notifying former husband and siblings of their data having been exposed.
I feel very badly for elderly/disabled that don't have the capacity to take care of stuff for themselves, or a trustworthy person to do it for them.

Dear God, please hurry up!
