This is a totally general statement and in most cases, false.
I think you are misleading people. We are talking about bad guys possibly hacking into our Hyatt accounts. That is the issue. That is the story. We are not talking about giving out our D/O/B or our social security numbers to credit monitoring services. Don't change the subject of the post. The information that may be subject to a hack would have been contained in our Hyatt accounts.
We accept your public service message not to give out our D/O/B and SS# over the phone, specifically to credit monitoring services - but in reality you should never give out this information over the phone to anybody. Most people know that. Thank you for your concern.
