    These organisations act like some sort of 'credit gods' while allowing your data to be stolen when i was never directly given to them in the first place! We should all be demanding to know why it took so long to announce this?

    That's a good point, depending on the amount of info they got on each person, they could very well have the PIN number to turn off your credit freeze.

    The news just keeps getting better.*sarc

    Oh yeah, & now this item:

    We tested Equifax's data breach checker and it's basically useless | ZDNet

    Not only did they hide the fact, but several officials of the firm are under investigation for dumping Equifax stock right before the announcement. *Mad

    Pretty scathing article here concerning the whole debacle.

    Your personal data isn't safe with government agencies either. I'd be surprised if the Equifax breach ends up being worse than the Office of Personnel Management breach, from a few years ago.

    And sadly, they were compromised via an older, previously fixed Apache struts vulnerability and web pages using admin/admin to gain access.
