>After Equifax Breach, Here’s Your Next Worry: Weak PINs >At first, she thought it was a mistake. Maybe it had to do with the fact that she was in Panama, or that her web browsers were acting up. But no: >The Equifax PINs are based on the date and time that you set up your freeze. >“The whole point of a 10-digit PIN is that it’s supposed to be hard to guess,” she said. “And then, they have this totally transparent algorithm for assigning them.” >This is among the worst of the facts that have emerged in the wake of the company’s announcement on Thursday that thieves may have stolen up to 143 million Social Security numbers, dates of birth, names and addresses from its credit files. Armed with that information, thieves, blackmailers and enemies can make a lot of mischief. A credit freeze can prevent thieves from using your information to open new accounts, since lenders want to see a credit report before doing business with you.
>The Equifax breach exposes some of our most sensitive personal information: names, social security numbers, addresses, birth dates and the some driver's license numbers. >For consumers, the situation is maddening in large part because we are nearly powerless to avoid it. >Unlike Yahoo, Equifax is not a service you intentionally sign up for and then explicitly provide with your data. Equifax, a credit reporting firm, gets its data from credit card companies, banks, retailers, and lenders who report on the credit activity of individuals to credit reporting agencies, as well as by purchasing public records.

Yeah, many of us smelled something fishy about all this shit. It was even fishier when this shit happened that the CEOs dumped millions in stock.
Something is going on in the higher echelons in the company
Isaac Cook
And of course, the timing of when to reveal all this. Everyone is distracted by the hurricanes. Nothing at this level is ever coincidence. Just ask the wealthier 3 CEO's at equifax

It's 50/50 on the link equifax provides. Some have reported that once you enter your info, you are no longer capable of being part of any suit against them. Myself, i attempted pic related and found it odd. Either way, i security froze my shit over the weekend and will be looking at my finances like a starved merchant. As for social security, if you're afraid you've been compromised you can call the IRS and apply for a pin. So when you file your taxes, that pin will be required.
In the end my friend, other than spreading this info everywhere, prepare for a financial hurricane with no real easy route of escape

>Some have reported that once you enter your info, you are no longer capable of being part of any suit against them. Yeah, it's part of the TOS on their security site. There is no way a judge would let that slide with how many people and to the extent of which they are affected though.

Indeed. Also, to build on the pic in this post Some people were saying the default setting was a "you've been impacted" message just to be safe, but it turns out either they didn't remove tests of the system or it's a totally unreliable way to see if you're info has been breached.

Some user pointed out over the weekend that the site is poorly developed and most likely easily corrupted. Yeah, but according the news 'dey good bois, dey dun nuffin.'

Exactly This is incompetence that has ZERO excuse to exist at this level of responsibility. This should be the headliner for every news network at the moment. After Wall Street closes today and the stock plunges further, perhaps that will bring the proper attention on this fiasco.

By putting women with music majors in IT leadership positions. I used to work at a medical university, was responsible for doing the grunt work of HIPAA compliance and was fired after I refused to sign off on documents stating what machines had protected health information. These documents were wrong and said maybe only 10% of the computers in our clinics had health information. Our CIO was a morbidly obese cat lady lesbian, whos previous job at the university was ironically as a nutrition professor.
Mark my words, in the coming weeks/months it will be discovered that they oursourced their IT department to pajeets.

If you feel like doing a good deed for the day, next time you get that kind of call ypu should play along and pretend to be getting fooled to string them along for as much as you can (maybe even trick the pajeet into giving some revealing info away that you can report). Every second wasted on you is a second less that they can be using to scam some confused old grandparent.

All that information was already out there. The credit bureaus will sell it to whoever wants it. I used to work for Clear Channel doing phone surveys. We bought all of our phone numbers from Experian. Millions of peoples numbers that had only given their phone number to their bank.

The credit bureau's are literally
>huge SQL database >bunch of bug-infested pajeet-written shell scripts that try to grep data and insert it into above database >0 human oversight >call center is based in bangladere >payments are all collected by website
you have absolutely 0 oversight over your "file'
it's literally the biggest scam I have ever hears of.
FUN FACT: paying off debt fucks your credit. if you have a defaulted debt (R9), and you havent made payments in 5 years but decide to pay it off, it will be marked as paid off but still remains an R9 (lol). except instead of the item having dropped off your credit in 6 years (ie in 1 year) now the timer gets reset goy and your credit will be ruined for an extra 6 years (11 years total) since equifax uses "date of last activity" when counting credit items
