Yep.
Glad I’ve never used equisucks.
Why don’t these people just hire hackers to do network security, it would obviously be a better option then finding white hat it professionals that have never broke the law.
Give these black hat hackers good paying jobs protecting data and they’ll stop stealing it. Because they are in it for ransom money.
You don’t have to “use” them.
If you have had a credit account anywhere in the US in the last 20 years...they have your data.
And they keep it up to date.
If you have a bank account, credit card or home loan or ever have, Equifax has your account info my friend.
You’ve never used them? How can you be sure?
If you’ve ever had your credit checked or reported for anything it probably went through them.

You have whether you know it or not.

If you went to Equifax right now and set up an account, they’d walk you thru numerous questions like...
Out of the 4 addresses below, is one of them your current address? They’d list 4 addresses and one WILL BE yours. They’d do the same question but with the address you lived at as a kid. And one of the addresses will be your old address. Then they’d give you four companies and ask you to ID the one you worked at from the period of this to that. And one would be the company you worked at.
The same thing would happen if it were the other two credit bureaus. They know everything.
Actually, you HAVE used them.
All four Credit Reporting companies have all your personal info they need to create a full personal profile on your credit.
This is VERY serious and I would NOT be surprised to hear they outsource their IT dept.
Pay them enough? Nah, it’s not possible with the amount of money they can make stealing. They can sell the information over, and over, and over, and...
“Glad I’ve never used equisucks.”
They already have all your info!
“It’s one of the three agencies and gathers and maintains information on over 800 million consumers and more than 88 million businesses worldwide.”

As one of the 3 major credit bureaus, they have a lot of information about you, including all your credit cards and loans. You can check with them your credit worthiness and everything else they have on file about you ones a year for free. Same goes for the other two.
