The best part about the credit monitoring services is that they're inevitably going to get hacked too. Especially Lifelock, which just got fined for having atrocious security practices (reading between the lines a bit, it looked like they were using unhashed passwords on the backend).

There really is no hope.

It seems like the only hope is that they would switch back to a pen and paper system and never digitalize the data... or if they would use an air gap, that would be a good start. But of course you have to make sure that you never say your data around an android phone, an iphone, an amazon device, a smart TV, etc...

Hashing passwords is NOT difficult. It never ceases to amaze me how many online service providers fail to do this.
