> Uber says it will offer a free one-year membership of Experian’s ProtectMyID Alert

My ID has been breached twice in other, unrelated incidents. Each time these ID protection companies want to know my SS# and all sorts of other stuff. My heart skips a beat imagining them scraping the web for my SS# and CC# in an otherwise well intentioned effort. I've refused their services and insist they only provide the insurance policy associated with this.




It's pretty hard (actually impossible) to pull the information necessary to do credit monitoring without your PII.
