Agree. The best thing that can happen here is the entire 149 million gets published online somewhere - that will force change. Overnight, companies will have to stop assuming SSN is secret.

At this point I think it's rather safe to assume no SSN is secret.

I agree - but this is going to get forgotten about in a month, Equifax's stock price will be back where it was in 6 months (or less) and everything will continue as before
