I’m sure you’ve seen the latest new story about the Equifax breach <http://money.cnn.com/2017/09/08/technology/equifax-hack-qa/index.html>.

In the meantime, we must do what we can to help senior loved ones stay on point with their credit and avoid becoming victims of fraud and identity theft. Seniors are highly susceptible to financial scams, so giving them the tools to protect themselves can save a lot of heartbreak and trouble.
