While I am sure that there are clueless people that have worked on the security team at Equifax, I'm willing to bet that there have been good people too. It's hard to sort out the good from the bad and what problems are individual and what were systemic.
- exabrial 9y agoPutting a person, who majored in music theory, into the Information Security Officer position at a company of Equifax's size, shows how much they actually regard your information as something important. I actually dislike bringing this up, because I respect the people the have gone through music education; while it doesn't pay in terms of salary, it's certainly something they are passionate about and love dearly. But just as they would not hire me to direct an orchestra, I would not hire them to secure critical Financial systems. This isn't to say there is a fault with them, it's just to say that we all have our strengths in certain areas.
- wglb 9y agoThis is clearly wrong. Do you know who Mudge is? Check out the wikipedia page for him at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peiter_Zatko https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peiter_Zatko and note his degree.
- irrational 9y agoAren't we talking about Mike Gustavison? Does Peiter Zatko work at Equifax or Panera?
- wglb 9y agoWe are apparently talking about who majored in music theory and my point is that is totally irrelevant.
