Don't forget the federal government itself. I've still got 1 year remaining from the 10 years of monitoring I got from the OPM breach wayyy back when.

Related, any company offering monitoring should be required to pay for a serialized version. The 10-20 or so settlements that require monitoring in my lifetime have been useless because I already have it for a longer period.

Same. It works out every time there's some class action over a spill because I can show that I have the credit monitoring and ask for the $3 or whatever from the lawsuit. A few more years of leaks and I'll have enough to buy a lego set for all the trouble.
