>given Quora's tenure (almost nine years!) that this is the first breach is pretty amazing I am sorry but this is #ShitHackerNewsSays worthy. Let me fix it for you >given Equifax's tenure (almost 119 years! Since 1899) that this is the first breach is pretty amazing Better now? Downvote me if you want, but there are no pats in the back for having PII leaks, no matter the years.

There have been at least 5 different breaches (of varying impact) at Equifax in the recent past several years. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equifax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equifax) Another set of 5 data breaches at Equifax dating back to 2013 (some but not all of these overlap with the Wikipedia reference) (https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2017/09/08/equifax-data-breach-history/#6c747d40677c https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2017/09/08/equif...) I would not be surprised if Equifax has been "breached" more than a hundred times over its history. Do your research.

I don't know why you need to be so aggressive. You've made multiple comments on this thread, all in this vein. Flagged.

  He is not aggressive at all. Upset? Maybe. Aggressive? No.

    As a meta point, the word "aggressive" has undergone significant scope creep in tech lately. It's worrisome that lots of people with influence have started to punish messages that, while polite, express explicit, forceful, and direct disagreement. The only remaining option is an indirect approach laden with false pleasantries and ambiguous language that leaves the reader confused about the actual state of agreement. We need to push back against false claims of aggressiveness.

      Really? If I dismissed your comment with #ShitHackerNewsSays, you'd say that was a "forceful, direct disagreement"? Maybe you think this is great because "false" pleasantries are cut off, but for me that's aggressive.

This is an understandable counter point. I don’t really agree but I appreciate it.
