Computer security incident (cyberattack): The CCQ extends the deadline for activating Equifax protection to January 31, 2027

November 10, 2026 – The deadline for activating the protection was initially set for November 30. To allow more people to activate their protection, we have extended the activation period.

You now have until January 31, 2027, to activate your code and the free credit monitoring and identity protection services offered through Equifax.

We would like to remind you of the importance of activating your code as soon as possible. People who have already activated their protection do not need to take any further action.

The protection is offered for a period of two years and takes effect when you activate your code.
