- speedplane 9y agoThe reason they don't is that they just don't care... and for their business that's the rational decision. Data security isn't as core to their business as it is to a bank. If a bank has a breach, bank accounts get drained. If Equifax has a breach, it's annoying but manageable fines and their CEO gets grilled in a few congressional hearings. Equifax's core business is about giving out credit scores. I'd bet their biggest fear is giving someone a high score when they deserve a low one. Data breaches, moderately inaccurate information... a nuisance, but a sideshow.
