I'm with you, it's more criminal that after all they've flubbed, this company is even still allowed to operate, than that they lost all of our information to begin with.
Don't we have at least 3 major credit bureaus? Equifax should be shuttered immediately and with prejudice, the American credit system will be immediately better off and we can all live without this one. Shareholders be damned.
- krallja 9y agoDo you think the other two are any better?
- yebyen 9y agoIs that really a question? No, I don't, I consider it to be unauthorized surveillance, but the fact is that Equifax blew this up, and now continues to demonstrate their organizational incompetence, while TransUnion and Experian are not really in the news this week. Our system of credit operates on these bureaus, and we have two others that appear to be functioning properly. If I had one server that was obviously infested with hackers, but two others that were not obviously infested, assuming that I had isolated them properly and they did not have major parts that were in common, I'd start by unplugging the one that was already confirmed to be hacked. I think it works the same way when corporations that surveilled 50% or more of the population demonstrate systematic incompetence basically without remorse, as in this case. They just need to be unplugged, immediately. (I'm not advocating we shut down the entire credit system, in other words, although I am terrified it may yet come to that.)
