It would become a legendary case study if this site turned out to be an information phishing site. (This one is legit but I expect it to happen someday. I'm surprised it hasn't already.)

After all this site links to the law firm JND, but nowhere does JND mention this site. So any of us could have made this site.

Your comment inspired me to take a look. I compared the SSL certificate and the whois information to equifax.com. The settlement site uses a different company for the certificate. The settlement site uses Starfield Technologies vs DigiCert for equifax.com. The settlement site uses GoDaddy for their DNS vs UltraDNS for equifax.com. It's not impossible that a division in the company or a different law firm uses different SSL certificate provider and DNS provider, but it may point to some caution.

Edit: As another commenter pointed out, this site is linked to from the FTC site about the breach.

Here's the "official" page on the ftc.gov site, which has links to the settlement site in the FAQ section.

Being linked to from the FTC isn't a safe bet. Bear in mind Equifax sent people to a fake Equifax website before: https://money.cnn.com/2017/09/20/technology/business/equifax...
