I got a letter today telling me the bad news. Fuck. They're offering 2 years of identity theft protection services but what good is that when my Social Insurance Number is forever? I don't have much with Mackenzie but the first thing I do will be to move it out... I'm thinking Bitcoin.
Can you not change your social insurance number? I guess it would be a pain in the arse to change it everywhere, but I'd hope they'd have something in place to secure people who have had their data breached.
Nope it is a fucked up system.
Because I have been breach I think six times I pay 20$ a month for a monitor and for insurance if theft happens.
The cocksuckers that get breached never offer lifetime coverage at any monitor they give one or two or three year at most.
This year a hospital I had a hernia operation at was breached. Along with western digital website.
So my medical, my social, my address, my date of birth and 2 CC's are leaked.
I use Discovercard's service as it has $1,000,000 insurance cost is 15 or 20 a month.

I have been paying the 15 monthly ( I checked) for over 20 years.
I used Citibanks' but Switched to discover. so 240 x 15 = 3600 +. this is my biggest CC cost as I never or almost never pay CC interest. I also get back 1000's in rebates yearly.
