We have been periodically calling for an extension of Experian monitoring, as recently as last weekend.* Now it is being offered.
Posted on UCnet: UC extends credit monitoring and identity theft protection for UC members affected by 2021 Accellion incident March 15, 2022 As a service to the University of California community, UC is extending the duration of the free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services offered by UC following the 2021 Accellion data breach incident. Following last year’s incident, UC offered UC community members one year of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection through Experian. UC is now extending the free service for an additional two years, at no cost. Those already enrolled with Experian do not need to take any action – they will automatically receive the free two-year extension on the one-year anniversary of their initial enrollment. Frequently asked questions about the two-year extension Q. I recently received two notices from Experian: one informing me that my free credit monitoring and identity theft protection will expire soon, and another telling me that these services are being extended for another two years. Which is accurate? A. Our apologies for the confusion — you may ignore the expiration notice. Last year, you signed up for the free year of the Experian credit monitoring and identity theft protection services offered by UC. We are now extending these services for an additional two years. This means that on the one-year anniversary of your initial enrollment, you will automatically receive an additional two years of the Experian IdentityWorks’ credit UCLA Faculty Association Blog: First Quarter 2022
