Security certainly is difficult, but the Equifax hack wasn't particularly complex, was it?

- native_samples 5y agoYou can't define complex in a way clear enough to be useful. Maybe in your eyes it wasn't a "complex" hack, but what specifically distinguishes Equifax from nVidia or the other tech firms getting hacked right now? That you could write down, formalize, test in a court of law and which would last more than 6 months as an accepted definition? What about the China/Google hack in 2010? That was widely regarded as a groundbreaking attack by a nation state, but it started with an employee clicking a phishing link.
