"Equifax could easily have patched the hole in its system that hackers exploited, but it simply didn’t."
We don't know why, though. Perhaps they were working with law enforcement to track the attacker. Closing the hole would certainly alert the attackers and end the chance to catch them.
This reads just like the Cuckoo's Egg.
- inetknght 9y agoYour argument is that law enforcement wanted to risk the identities of millions of Americans they're supposed to protect? That logic is simply broken. Either the argument is strawman or law enforcement is just as guilty of negligence as Equifax is.
