Equifax to Pay at Least $650M in Largest Data-Breach Settlement
- zadkey 7y agoThe fine should be more, a lot more. At least double that since the article said they are currently paying about the same as their quarterly profits. But I am glad to see they aren't getting out with a slap on the wrist.
- olliej 7y agoOk, so this means it’s costing them less than $5/person, So I assume this still means they are turning a per-person profit for accumulating and failing to protect user data.
