This is f'n ridiculous. 44% of the U.S. population. "Leaked data includes names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, addresses and some driver's license numbers". Equifax CEO and Chairman Richard Smith said he recognizes this breach "strikes at the heart of who we are and what we do" and apologized to consumers and customers. Yeeah. Your apology is worthless air bitch. Time to pony up free credit monitoring. I hope your stock TANKS. And you get fired. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/07/cre...entially-affect-143-million-us-consumers.html
In response to the hack, Equifax strongly recommends getting their credit monitoring service. They will be offering a 5% discount.
So basically everything you've ever done financially is out there now. Word is EVERYTHING was taken. Thats the last 30 years of your lives folks. Ticker symbol EFX.... they're gonna fry.
They were $120 in February.... $142 today. This bitch is goin down. Wait till the MSM joins the party.....
What? Did Equifax buy calls on Life Lock & Cyber security stocks? Contrary to popular propaganda - it is really not that difficult to keep hackers out of enterprise networks if you know what you are doing. The problem is only about 1-4% of all the IT people out there have a clue when it comes to security. Worked with this stuff back when the first commerce sites were launched to present - it is not that difficult. Equifax showed their incompetence - blaming it on a browser - that's a lie. For example: In routers & firewalls you can block geographic regions that has no business being in their network. Rarely will the IT staff do this, to lazy - to dumb. These are the same people claiming its impossible to keep hackers out. I mean this is just step #1 of a long list. Get step #1 done and already you cut down on your chances of being hacked by a wide margin.
This is just f'ing scary. You're telling me a company that has the financial data on damn near every American can't hire some black hat tech geeks that know how to prevent this stuff. Thats f'ing ridiculous. I hope they FRY!
This sux bigtime.. It'll fark up ppls (probably mine!) credit for a long time and require lots of effort to keep an eye on things. Rusky and Chinee hacker boyz scored large...
And they act like its no big deal. "The investigation will be complete in a few weeks". Well fuck you! So someone somewhere (Russia/China/NK) has access to everything about me... And you're doing an "investigation"? To what end???!!! This fucking CEO needs to be dragged behind a pick-up truck for incompetence.
Welp..... they have just lost 2.4 BILLION in market cap after hours. Going back to Comagnum's post... wonder how much it costs to hire the right people to prevent this stuff. That could have hired a lot of geeks. I hope they lose 10 Billion.
