Dear Strategic Tech Investor,
If you're living in the United States, there's about a 40% chance that your sensitive consumer data was just breached by hackers.
Credit reporting giant Equifax Inc. (NYSE: EFX) announced Thursday morning that a massive breach affecting 143 million consumers was discovered on July 29.
Compromised data includes birth dates, Social Security numbers, credit card information - and more. Hackers were able to exploit an application on the company's website to gain access to private information of American, British, and Canadian customers.
Shares of Equifax Inc. plummeted more than 14% after the announcement.
YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THIS: New "Superfuel" Could Power the U.S. Electrical Grid for The Next 124 Years!
Now I want you to do two things.
- Visit www.equifaxsecurity2017.com to find out if your information has been stolen.
- Make sure you have ETFMG Prime Cyber Security ETF (NYSE Arca: HACK) in your portfolio.
Here's why...
Ways to Play Weed Today
 Pot stocks are flying off the charts...It's unbelievable. And with new states set to legalize marijuana this year, the time to invest in marijuana stocks is right now. If you act fast, you could catch a rare opportunity to get in during the early stages of an industry boom, and acquire stakes before the market expands again. So time is of the essence, click here immediately for more information.
Juniper Research recently estimated that the global cost of data breaches - hacks - will cost global businesses more than $8 trillion over the next five years. And Cybersecurity Ventures Worldwide has predicted that cybersecurity spending, from 2017 to 2021, will top $1 trillion.
That's why cybersecurity is part of our investing focus at Strategic Tech Investor.
So let's take another look at our "pure play" on cybersecurity...
Built to track the Prime Cyber Defense Index, with HACK you can take advantage of the "arming" of businesses, governments, and individuals.
The index is made up of all the big players and many of up-and-comers in the cybersecurity sector. That means you get a play on federal, state and local governments beefing up their security - and on the huge array of business cybersecurity solutions... all in one spot.
BACKDOOR TO MILLIONS: $686 Million a MONTH Is Being Disbursed to States Across the Country
This fund's holdings are like a "Who's Who" of cybersecurity. Here's just three examples...
- Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) is one of the oldest and largest cybersecurity firms in the market and is a major player in the U.S. government's cybersecurity platforms - and, at a "weight" of 4.29%, it is HACK's third-largest holding. Symantec owns the Norton-brand security programs that are popular with individuals, as well as enterprise solutions for both mobile and computer security. The stock is up nearly 34% year to date - and 8.2% since the Equifax hack - largely because investors and Wall Street are starting to understand the long-term growth explosion in this sector. And I expect at least another 25% out of the stock just in the short term.
- Palo Alto Networks Inc. (Nasdaq: PANW), which composes 4.82% of HACK - making the company the ETF's largest holding - is one of the newest players to become a familiar name in any IT department. And it's one of my favorite single plays in the sector. It operates in three divisions: Next-Gen Firewall, Advanced Endpoint Protection, and Threat Intelligence Cloud. Palo Alto has clients in every sector, both public and private. The stock is up 16.6% year to date.
- Qualys Inc. (Nasdaq: QLYS), which makes up 3.84% of HACK, is a cybersecurity player in the fast-growing cloud sector. This is where computing now resides and where the Internet of Everything will either sink or swim. Given the enormous corporate interests involved in IoE, it will be extremely important for every link in the cybersecurity chain be as strong as the next, and Qualys is building a reputation for just that. Qualys stock is up 61.8% in the past six months - and 4.9% since the Equifax hack - so there is real momentum here.
HACK is up 13.35% year to date - and more than that since I first made it a pick last October.
Still, this is an ETF that's going to double and triple as cybersecurity keeps becoming an even bigger issue.
After all, Equifax won't be the last big institution to get hacked.
Have a great weekend.

These 5 Indicators Tell Me This Stock Will Double by 2020
Jara Herron had just given birth to her seventh child about six years ago when she suddenly felt her chest getting tighter. She was having a heart attack, and her organs soon began to fail.
