In a Few Days, Credit Freezes Will Be Fee-Free — Krebs on Security [krebsonsecurity.com]:

Regarding the Centralized Credit Check System (CCCS)– I called the number to freeze NCTUE report and was prompted to press 2 to freeze CCCS) –that resulted in a recording reciting a lot of info about what info is needed to freeze, unfreeze, lift tem, but then sends one to the following website to actually do the job: https:www.exchangeservicescenter.com/freeze. That url (without or with the final “/freeze” does not open. I googled “exchange services center” – Firefox says the site is improperly configured and a security risk and won’t open the page, Chrome turns up 0; Safari lets one open to the ( purported ?) website and navigate to a form for requesting a freeze – I am afraid to fill in the form with the requested identifying info (among other things, my SSN) on this website’s form under the circumstances.
