Re: Nice Planet 13: This Planet Sucks
Not to mention, it took them 6 farking weeks to go public with this?
Honestly, I'm not sure Equifax shouldn't be sued out of existence by the time this investigation is over. When a company like Target gets hit, that's one thing; they could do a much better job of protecting consumer info, but info sec isn't their main LOB.
The credit bureaus are essentially PII warehouses that are entrusted with all of this personal data so that consumers can build a good credit record and obtain credit when needed/wanted. If PII is your business, then the expectation is that you are doing everything in your power to safeguard it - hiring the brightest and best security experts, implementing the best tech, etc.
This is an Arthur Andersen-level loss of trust and image.
