The problem is that children could have hacked Equifax. They were extremely negligent, they put a diversity hire with zero IT background or experience in as CIO.

Well, those 4 Chinese guys won’t ever dare set foot in the U.S. Unless they steal someone’s identity. Or 145 million identities.

That’s because they didn’t have Equifax ID Patrol to protect their credit at only $16.95 a month.... (obvious sarcasm)

This is what sucks, they want you to pay to have your credit protected and they have a data breach. It’s a joke with all the credit unions and credit unions should be be outlawed anyway.
