> That shade is a reference to the Equifax execs who sold around $1.8 mil in company stock after Equifax discovered the breach — but before it alerted the public.

According to CNBC, this is false information. The insiders who sold claimed to be unaware of the breach at the time of the sale and also the sale was scheduled beforehand.

Claims can be made and the apparent filing was never done for it to be scheduled.

There's no way a breach like that is discovered and the upper management/execs aren't notified.

They are going to try and push hard to get that narrative in people's heads. We'll know the truth when it gets investigated.
