I give up. I now have 20 years of credit monitoring built up over all the times I've had the potential to have been hacked.

Home Depot, Target , TJ Maxx, just to name a few.

I logged into the accounts Wells Fargo set up for me with my yahoo email address and paid off all my credit cards with the Wells Fargo accounts.

Those idiots can sort it out if it was really me.

Yahoo revealed two weeks ago that it had been hacked in 2014 and that users names and passwords for 500 million accounts were swiped.
