Out of curiosity, did anybody here, with horrible credit because of their student loans and mistakes made administrating their loan, discover that they are a victim of the data breach at Equifax?

I just discovered that I am one of the 8000, and it would appear that its because I made an effort to fix and watch carefully my credit, after recovering from my student loan issues. Name, address, SIN, birthdate, username, password, access to my full credit profile, all breached. They would have got this from my online profile when I create an account with Equifax so that I could monitor my credit - a process I began about 4 years.

Its as if those of us who have these issues have targets painted on our forehead. What is up with this? I didn't create my problem with the Student Loans. It was their mistake. Now, just as I fix the student loan issue and fix my credit report, I discover that I am exposed for a life time to somebody wreaking my credit again with fraudulent applications. Wow!
