The report doesn't appear to mention that you could just login to their web portal with an obvious password [1]. It also doesn't appear to be under the purview to look at the leadership team selling stock[2]. Both of which it should consider when reviewing the competency and ethics of an organization managing and profiling nearly everyone in the U.S.
Speaking of which... why is it only ~50% of the adult population in the U.S.?
If the intruders were going around the Equifax network at will (which from the report it
appears they were). We should assume 100% of the data was breached.
