As a settlement for the wrongful death of your parents you are entitled to 12 months of LifeLock's DataScrub™ service!
i get that you're joking; but i literally got a coupon for equifax's credit monitoring service when the OPM was hacked back in 2015.
Yeah, I've been fortunate enough to be offered those multiple times as well. I froze my credit with the big three agencies after the third or fourth breach. Recently learned there's apparently a fourth agency now? Cool. And there's hundreds of data broker sites...

There is a blurb on Wikipedia fortunately:
