Two days I posted How effective are credit freezes in actually preventing identity theft?. It got virtually no attention, and I was disappointed, because it's an important question.
A credit freeze will not 100% prevent identity theft. PIN's, like SSNs, can only be so secure. This discovery on the Experian site is proof of it.
While a freeze will certainly will make things more difficult for hackers, it is not 100% a guarantee of protection.
