Equifax is one of the scummiest companies ever. Glad to see how dependent the other giant scumbag,the US Govt, is on them.
If you had accounts BEFORE the Equifax data breach, you had to provide answers to three “Personal Questions” (e.g., first car, etc.) and a personal “Username.”
The only way hackers can get around that is to create duplicate accounts with a new Username and Q&A.
Hopefully, two accounts with the same legal name and numbers would attract attention.
SocSec and Medicare make you change your password like every six months now - a monumental pain in the neck.
Not only that, SocSec sends you a security code via email or text that you need to type in - every time!
Yeah, it’s weird when you KNOW you’ve never, ever put your personal info online, but it’s online anyway.
Spit spit Equifax
Now, now folks - you have to look at the big picture. Sure equifax failed to protect the personal data of tens of millions of people. But they ensured they had a diverse work force at the highest level of their organization by hiring a female music major to be their Chief Security Officer! So chill.
