Hello Financial Literacy Colleagues,

My name is Niki Pechinski, I am the Financial Literacy Educator at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

In light of the Equifax data breach, I am curious, how your conversations with students changed (or not changed) regarding credit retrieval and online security? I believe in safe online practices but I also don't think not monitoring credit is an effective way to reduce identity theft.

What do you think? I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Warmly,
Niki
