How Do Hackers Get My Info?

A huge security breach at credit reporting company Equifax has exposed sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers and addresses, of up to 143 million Americans.

Unlike other data breaches, those affected by the breach may not even know they're customers of the company.


Equifax  is one of three nationwide credit-reporting agencies that track and rate the financial history of consumers. The company gets its data from credit card companies, banks, retailers and lenders -- sometimes without you knowing.

A PrivacyMaxx membership provides proactive and comprehensive identity monitoring, alerts and resolution services. Its services go beyond the basic coverage provided to breach victims. Becoming a member ensures that your identity is being monitored, and that you will be notified quickly if any activity is detected. Additionally, if you become aware of any suspicious activity regarding your identity, you can easily contact your PrivacyMaxx Identity Recovery Advocate, who is there to assist you and, if necessary, restore your identity back to pre-theft status. You never know when an organization you trust and rely on will be hacked by thieves. Act now, and secure your future today!

ID theft is about MUCH more than a stolen credit card. Stolen identities are used to fraudulently obtain medical services, commit crimes, acquire fraudulent documentation, take over your current bank or investment accounts, and obtain credit for which repayment will never be made, destroying your credit rating along the way.

PrivacyMaxx's proprietary Identity Early Warning System monitors billions of public data sources to protect against ID theft and its potentially life-altering effects for victims.

In the event of ID theft, you'll get direct access to a PrivacyMaxx professional recovery advocate, who will manage the entirerecovery process for you and your family. In addition to handling the follow-up, paperwork, and phone calls for you to recover your name and credit history, your advocate will document, dispute and reverse all fraudulent transactions for all known types of identity theft. As an added layer of protection, you'll also get 12 months of Internet Monitoring follow-up once you are back to pre-theft status.
