Equifax data breach. [View all]

I received a letter from AT&T today - I'm a customer of AT&T - telling me to check with Equifax to see if my information was involved in the Equifax data breach. When I enter my information, they tell me I was impacted. Their recommended action is that I sign up for free Premier ID protection.

I wouldn't normally consider accepting this offer. I'm not sure if my information was really impacted, or if they are using this as a way to entice people to get involved with Equifax.

Has anyone heard about this offer from Equifax? Does anyone know if it's legitimate?

I appreciate any information anyone has. Thanks - Jim.
