Most security standards are voluntary right? Based more on market pressure than regulation. It looks like the Fed is considering a set of regulations for large banking entities, which I assume Equifax would be a part of, but AFAIK the existing regulations aren't very robust and haven't been updated in recent years.

Is there anything where they may have breached federal standards for storing federally owned data? Edit: for example, there is the fedramp set of compliance rules.

- umanwizard 9y agoIf you believe the universe is discrete, this becomes stronger than a mere analogy - configurations of matter and energy are in fact numbers.
