The full title is "Equifax’s security chief had some big problems. Being a music major wasn’t one of them."
And the article is entirely about that 2nd part... that her degree in music shouldn't be an issue.
- micah94 9y agoI noticed this too. Was waiting for the big problems and they never surfaced. I expected him to talk about ignoring warnings from low-level people or disregarding PCI-compliance reports... It's easy to dismiss the music major thing as "fake news" or whatever you want to call it. What did this multi-million dollar organization miss? Surely they have outside PCI checks for common security issues, right? Maybe she ignored middle managers. Did they fail to renew some contract (like the NHS did to pay for extended Windows XP support) and updates stopped? What was it?
