If the SSNs were hashed....nothing to worry about. If they are lying about that, then your SSN will get used by criminals.

I doubt they would lie about it, as if they did it would have to be contained. That leaks and a bad situation gets a lot worse.

Nothing here yet. Not sure I'm buying 20% though.

The key words there are "at least".

Instead of offering free credit reporting, what I would like to hear coming out of the TwinSpires Empire, is what they are going to do in the future to protect our information. What changes are they going to make to make sure this doesn't happen again? How can I be assured that a hacker doesn't get in deeper the next time and come out with my actual SSN or bank info?

i think i posted it here already, but you can go to annual credit report .com and get your credit reports free. allowed to do so once a year. this isn't the site that advertises on tv, it really is free. been using it for years.

My bigger issue has to do with how its going to affect a number of banking things I need to get done in the next two months as I am starting my own side business. Are all these fraud alerts I place going to screw things up.
