More security than privacy, but does provide some:
Freeze your credit report sharing with all major consumer reporting agencies when not applying for new credit. Without reports, lenders won’t grant new lines of credit in your name. It’s free and timely, as required by US law.
Credit monitoring companies just run credit checks, which they can’t do with your credit frozen. Check your credit every 3-4 months yourself at annualcreditreport.com (proof of legitimacy).
Don’t stay informed of breaches, prevent them.
I’ve noticed that too. Is it related to covid you think? As in it was like this before and now we’re returning to normal progression as people rebuild social connections and lose time. Or is it that the whole dev economy is changing with layoffs and such that devs are leaving the industry altogether? Or something else even?
