I got the "email and password" email.  I called Equifax to place the 90 day fraud alert.

I'd recommend that everyone do this.  It was a pretty simple process, as has been said.  You just call their fraud number, and you never have to talk to a soul.  Just dial in your SSN and some other stuff, and it's all done.

...I think they should just give us all acceptances for going through such a trying time.

The one I got says that my SSN is safe, and that the primary concern is with the password I used to check my app status.

I got this email, as well. At this point I forget -- didn't they just assign us passwords?

There are too many status checkers to monitor; I can't keep them straight.  I don't recall creating a password, does anyone remember?

I can't remember if they assign us a password or not. If we create our own I certainly can't remember what it is, since I alternate between 2-3 passwords.

My plan is to go into all my online accounts and create a totally new never-been-used-before password, to cover all my bases, since my Duke password really could have been any 1 of 3.

Unless you have a ridiculously huge number of online accounts, I would probably recommend the same to you guys. Better safe than sorry.

ok, that's just fantastic. i got the email too. somehow, not getting the email made me think i was possibly exempt from it all, maybe because of a later application date?

i'm a wisher.

We made our own passwords.  I checked in the firefox saved passwords b/c I couldnt remember what I used.  It was a dumb throaway PW, so I'm not bothering to change my others.  I'm sure everyone knows this, but if you use firefox and save your passwords, you can go to tools->options->security-> show passwords, then find the duke website in the list and click show passwords again to see what you used if you forgot (and saved it of course).
