I may agree, but Equifax is by no reasonable definition "a critical system".

I may agree, but Equifax is by no reasonable definition "a critical system".
- Orangeair 9y agoTell that to people who are denied loans thanks to credit reporting agencies.
- jdale27 9y agoThere are levels of "criticality". Credit monitoring is in a different category from, say, spacecraft or nuclear power plants. But if a security breach can lead easily to identity theft, and therefore to a catastrophic compromise of one's financial stability, that should require some higher level of mandatory certification.
- vlunkr 9y agoI don't know what definition of "critical" we're going with, but the fact that they have the SSN of basically every American makes them an important weak point.
