Equifax's primary customers are the banks and other people who want to check out a persons credit worthiness. They did not leak credit reports. Just think if that information was copied and in the wild, available as a torrent. They would have a lot fewer customers. If you were renting out a place, instead of paying Equifax hundreds of dollars to check the credit of a dozen people, you could just check them out for free. That would be pretty cool. Sort of like the Sci-Hub situation.
