When you do a credit freeze with them, the PINs they generate are nothing more than a date and time stamp.

I've had a freeze with them for awhile now, because of a different hack. I didn't notice but looking at it, it is a date and time stamp. I don't even know if these dummies let you change your PIN.
I froze mine this morning. The PIN was not a date/time stamp.
