The accessed data at Equifax are SSNs, DOB and address. Why should the state hack a company to access data they already have? After all, SSN is state-issued and addresses at Equifax will be known to at least one agency (probably IRS).
- chiefalchemist 9y agoThat's a good question. My reply would be I'm not sure the intelligence community / legal profession can collect and hoard such things without legal approval. Certainly Equifax has other data. Maybe they didn't get what they wanted? Maybe Equifax isn't being transparent? Maybe they don't know?
- tskaiser 9y agoThat's a lot of maybes to support an already unlikely scenario.
- chiefalchemist 9y agoUnlikely? Because in the history of the NSA or CIA there has never been an "No way??!! They did what???" What do you think the NSA is doing with all that computing (and storage) power? Processing cat photos? :)
