>How the Equifax breach could hurt Google,Amazon ... and my small firm
>I once thought my client base would resist migrating their in-house systems to cloud based systems. But it's happening...in a big way.
>According to many research reports, including this one from technology firm IDC in 2016, SMBs have been adopting the cloud at a record clip, with almost two-thirds using cloud based applications for sales growth and productivity and 78 percent planning to use software-as-a-service applications within the next three years. It makes sense.
>A company using cloud based applications and services can be more productive, flexible, data-driven, mobile and secure than the old way of managing our internal networks. Or so I have been preaching.
>Of course, security has always been the biggest concern among my clients. We've all seen the headlines on the data breaches over the years. Many cloud based giants - from Yahoo to LinkedIn to Dropbox - have had customer data stolen. Credit card information has been taken from large companies like Target, Verizon and Wendy’s. Personal emails, movies and TV shows were fraudulently downloaded from Sony and HBO. Our own government has been hacked.
>One of the things that makes this so unsettling is the company's lukewarm response. The last thing my clients (who are already nervous about protecting their companies’ customer data in the cloud) want to see is a large company entrusted with so much vital data respond the way Equifax has. It’s hard to believe that it took Equifax five weeks to disclose the breach. It’s even harder to comprehend the company's lukewarm actions.
>Just check a website to see if you’re affected (I am, by the way.) That’s it? Equifax CEO Rich Smith promised that the company “will make changes” in a USAToday op ed, but no real plan has been offered. I guess we just sit and wait for our bank accounts to be drained and then spend weeks of our time arguing with customer reps and bank officials to get things sorted out.
Anyone get their email with log in info from Equifax?
My date was the 12th. I came back and it said it would send me an email. 24hrs later, no email.

When I security froze with them, they gave me a 10 digit pin code and stated I'd get physical mail of my security freeze within 5-7 business days. I called them though since their website and links don't seem trustworthy to me
Asher Martinez
Yeah, given the delays I might just get my free annual credit report while I wait.

That's still a mystery. But nearly two months of this being hidden from the public, I'm sure equifax and certain government agencies are already aware. What they're waiting for, god knows. Maybe some more ceos need to pull their shares out? Either way, this to me is very shady.

I read about this earlier today, their Argentinian site was also breached. Guess what they used as administrator credentials? >username: admin >password: admin And apparently every employee's login credentials as well as their "customers'" names and DNI(Argentinian equivalent of SSN) were available in plaintext once you were in. >hacker's face when

Okay I managed to do the annualcreditreport.com thing, but I could only print out the Experian credit report. The tranunion gave me an error message saying high volume due to the breach.

Literally can't understate how relieved I am that I wasn't affected, but I hope someday soon I see Susan Mauldin's head on a pike. Fucking cancer.

Luis Sullivan
Blame nepotism and the "reference culture" that thinks that someone who is part of the managerial class is more qualified to handle security than a top Red team/Blue team engineer.
Noah Gomez
Congrats. Still I'd be cautious. Anything equifax states about being safe or not can't be trusted wholeheartedly. I mean come on, they withheld revealing this breach for nearly two months Two fucking months
Sebastian Gutierrez
Oh also, nothing suspicious on my Experian credit report.
If you get the free annual credit reports, you made want to spread them out.

That's a lot of good advice, however there's a more detailed guide on how to protect yourself specifically written for the Equifax breach.
Stay safe ameriburgers.

Jayden Anderson
I don't think it was SJWs. I think she was well connected and managed to land a bunch of compliance gigs that have nothing or little to do with technology and Equifax regards security as a good starter position for c-level executives and pointy haired bosses instead of being a terminal position for some former teen-hacker.
Let it sink in for a second. If you work in IT.. even as tech takes over the world.... even as infosec mismanagement crises have been first page news for several years.
YOU ARE WORTH LESS THAN THE MANAGEMENT CASTE.
No matter how smart, no matter how educated, no matter where you work and no matter how much money you make... Unless you're born rich and connected or embed yourself into bureaucracies for access to such people . You are of a lower caste.
Henry Wilson
Their chief security officer was some cunt affirmative action hire with a music degree.

Andrew Sanders
You're not wrong, and that pretty much sums up what's wrong with the corporate culture in this country. She's obviously related to someone and was given that job as a win-win diversity hire, even though she has no idea what she's doing. I also figure it's possible she's being used as a patsy for the crooks at the top of the company.

Samuel Russell
Yeah. The real meme here is that just after they announced a data breach, they put up a shitty geocities tier website that asked for a last name and the last 6 digits of your ssn. This whole thing has left a pit in my stomach because of how powerless I feel to demand any kind of justice. Considered quitting my stem career to go to law school just to jail scumbags like this.

Literally after it came out you had someone in I believe USA Today that was ex-CIA and now working for some company that was Illumi-something talking about how social security cards and all that aren't valid identification in today's society and the need for biometrics, It was almost too many of the conspiracy theorist shit in one article to sound believable.

They aren't wrong that SS cards are a TERRIBLE form of identification/verification
Jason Cruz
The cards themselves aren't the problem. It's that you have to give out the number to do literally anything above board these days. Which means everybody and their uncle has access to it.
