hdallclearidHome Depot has admitted they were recently hacked and customer information was compromised and stolen. If you have shopped at any Home Depot store after April 1, 2014, you are eligible for one free year of identity protection and credit monitoring at homedepot.allclearid.com (press release).

If you need identity repair assistance during the next 12 months, starting on September 8, 2014, we have a team of dedicated fraud resolution investigators available to assist you. They will do the work to recover financial losses, restore your credit, and make sure your identity is returned to its proper condition.

For additional protection, we are also making available at no cost to you a service that includes credit monitoring, identity monitoring, and an identity theft insurance policy.

It appears you get AllClear Secure identity repair service and a 12-month AllClear PRO subscription (retail price of $14.95 a month, though I’d never actually pay that). Call 1-855-252-0908 for identity repair assistance. You’ll have to provide them with your Social Security number. Keep in mind that with all major credit card issuers, you have zero liability for any unauthorized charges as long as you report them in a timely manner.

Reminder: Everyone can get free daily credit monitoring from all three major credit bureaus through the following sites: Credit Sesame for Experian, Credit Karma for TransUnion, and Quizzle for Equifax (I got offered this last one, but it may be targeted).

  1. Between Target (which I bought a toy for a toy drive right before Christmas), Home Depot (which I have been there consistently after just buying a house at the beginning of the year) and the next companyy to get hacked, I’ll never have to pay for my credit monitoring again.

  2. Nice! How do you always know about all the new good deals out there??! Thanks for sharing them!

  3. !-year free monitoring. That’s much better than wasting money on security. Maybe if there was more lawsuits filed, these companies would better protect our info. Or better yet, wont store our info.

  4. I have been using CreditKarma to monitor my credit for free for many years. So, I don’t really see any value in this.
