Cybersecurity Incident Involving Consumer Information

They got hacked years ago. I know this for sure because I'd used a unique email address to sign up on their website: equifax@<my name>.com

No one else had that email address. Guess what, I started getting phishing emails to that exact address.

Tried letting them know, but it went nowhere.

They've been hacked 3 times before. Like yahoo waiting years to tell anyone this is just scummy. I hope they make a law sending people to jail over this

This administration won't be doing shit about companies like this. We need to fix the political system if there's to be any hope of justice for these types of crimes.
