WARNING!: Do NOT sign up for the Equifax Credit Protection! It's to lure you into a NEW TERMS and CONDITIONS Agreement. Here is the website they are tricking you with AND the Terms and Conditions LINK at the bottom of the page.
Do NOT enter any personal information, but you can read the NEW agreement. It's mind boggling that they're doing this. The BREACH HAPPENED 2 MONTHS AGO!!!

"The Equifax breach involves "full names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and, in some cases, driver license numbers." This is far worse than your usual name-and-email breach, or even name-email-and-password, because it gives thieves everything they need to open bank accounts, credit cards, and get loans in your name."
Dated 9/8 Equifax states in the fine print, you will GIVE UP YOUR RIGHTS in any way, shape or form about this incident.
DO NOT USE EQIFAX'S CREDIT PROTECTION COVERAGE. Even by signing in to see if you're information has been compromised, automatically enters you into the new agreement.
From Rick Smith, Chairman and CEO of Equifax

*Equifax MUST Pay*
If Equifax does not pay big for losing the personal information of millions of Americans,
we just need to get used to our identities being stolen.
