It is sometimes a maddening fight to get software quality shipped and not ship a maintenance nightmare in certain orgs. This especially depends on if the company is engineering led or more bizdev/mba led or how much the latter values engineering.
Equifax is a business that is not engineering led today and probably will never be as it is a credit agency and not consumer focused. For a company that has been around since 1899 and through many technological changes, they should have really focused more on cyber security in this age. Then again, Equifax is not a consumer company, they are a credit agency and only answer to their customers that probably don't value spending on securing personal data as the ones that are accessing Equifax want that data.
The question is, should a company that doesn't care (nor their stakeholders) about securing data as a way they make their money, should they be in control of all that data?
