cattitude and adrian_turtle mentioned having unfrozen their credit reports for the purpose, and then re-frozen them afterwards, I realized that I should do likewise, which meant creating three accounts.

The Equifax site kept telling me "invalid email address." Either they don't believe in my ISP, or their system assumes that nobody has a two-letter username. Panix isn't a huge ISP, but it's not a single-user vanity domain, and I'm far from the only Panix user with a two- or three-leter username. So, I have an Equifax account using my gmail address.
The TransUnion website had a weird bug on the sign-up page, with blank white space instead of either a pull-down menu or a text field for "state" in the address. I tried switching browsers, to no avail. I tried again the next day, still nothing.
This morning they had fixed that bug, so I signed up and froze my credit there as well.
