With so many articles talking about Equifax's incompetence, I guess I'm a little surprised that they even have a Countermeasures team.
> ... his office was using two different versions of Struts and that neither was among the versions listed as vulnerable in the alert. He requested confirmation that his conclusion was accurate and noted that the business impact could be quite heavy if he was incorrect.
Sadly, the business impact ultimately seems much less significant than you might imagine.

I wonder if individual devs could/should subscribe to these CVEs? Is that possible? Not that this dev should have, but that you might want not want to rely on your company's bureaucracy to figure out important stuff like this.
