https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/09/breach-at-equifax-may-impact-143m-americans/ has more information.

Go to https://trustedidpremier.com/eligibility/eligibility.html and enter your data there. It will take you to a page with a link to enter your data for what looks to be a second time, but will actually check to see if your SSN is in the dump of data. Check your SSN and those of your immediate family. My number and those of my wife and kids are not in there, so I'm good.

What's disgusting to me is how much marketing we have to click through to get to the check to see if our numbers are in the dump. Now is NOT the time for Equifax to be doing the hard sell of its credit monitoring service.
