And now this post has been deleted from the HN front page... Edit: they've unmarked it

  I think what's likely is that the articles are being flagged by HN members (and possibly down weighted by mods) as not something that can be constructively discussed on HN. If you've looked at the discussions, they've produced far more heat than light. As for being a dupe, it is in the sense that the same topic has been introduced multiple times: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=equifax%20music&sort=byPopularity&prefix&page=0&dateRange=all&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?query=equifax%20music&sort=byPopular...

      We've unmarked this one as a duplicate (of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15258510 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15258510). Both stories have received many flags by users, perhaps because the indignation to insight ratio is off.

        The other post wasn't really a story, it was a link to her profile on LinkedIn. I can see why there wouldn't be much to discuss, and why most people probably wouldn't want to upvote that. (Especially given the information about how that page has been altered, that you can find in the article that is the subject of this posting.)

    None of the previous articles posted in the search you linked... (a) were articles, or (b) had any mention of the fact that Equifax has evidently gone to great lengths to scrub this information off the internet. The video interviews with their CISO from before the breach were eye-opening. "Resistance to the cloud is futile." You can still find a transcript of one of the two interviews here, but it does not include this quote https://archive.is/Je7Yi https://archive.is/Je7Yi https://archive.is/6M8mg https://archive.is/6M8mg
