That is not an apt analogy. The resources of a nation state were not required to hack equifax.. a kid with a laptop could have done it. This is a consumer trust and safety issue because basic care was not taken to protect the data that Equifax was trusted with guarding. If it turns out that a nation state is the one that carried out the hack.. then that's a national security issue AND a consumer trust and safety issue. But that doesn't excuse gross incompetence.
