Bingo, Tom.

THe URL that was in the printed stuff was a special one (that did NOT
contain the letters IDX) for folks possibly affected by the original attack
on Change.  There was no way to prove that it was not all a hoax.  I had
signed in there with a login name and a complicated password. The website
classed my password as "Very Strong" and also told me that it was not found
on the Dark Web.  None of this proved it was not all a phish.

I logged out and closed my window.

I have now used the contact URL found in the Money Magazine review to
contact IDX. The site has recognized my login and password.

It seems I am now set up for two free years with a legitimate security
outfit.

Thanks all!
