So anything I need to worry about personally on this?
I haven't downloaded a big breach since that big comcast thing and it didn't seem to have any records from anybody I knew at the time.

This pic is helpful with info and what to do In general, one of the largest credit reporters had information containing names, SS#, drivers license IDs, birthdays, etc were hacked by some unknow entity. Imagine the information of 144 adult Americans is now loose for the entire world to see. Assuming the hackers have dumped or will dump this info. It's been nearly two months this info has been stolen so I'd at the very least put a security freeze with the 3 major credit reporters. This in turn will help avoid any new credit cards, loans, etc being opened in your name. Also, keep an eye on your finances. Anything suspicious, act immediately.

>Equifax Confirms Hackers Used Apache Struts Vulnerability to Breach Its Servers
>As Ars Technica noted, Apache Struts is a “framework for developing Java-based apps that run both front-end and back-end Web servers” which is extremely popular with financial institutions.
>The bug in question was fixed with a patch on March 6. Soon afterwards, hackers began exploiting it en masse and didn’t let up.
>Equifax claims to have learned of the breach in May.
>That is months after the vulnerability was known and easily fixed with an update.
>Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee sent a letter to Equifax CEO Richard Smith on Wednesday formally requesting his testimony before members of the committee on October 3.
>Smith will testify before members of the subcommittee focused on digital commerce and consumer protection. He had already agreed to testify before the lawmakers, but the letter represents a formal notification of his invitation to appear before the committee.
>Made Possible by a Website Flaw It Could Have Fixed yea, it's definitely a flaw to have all your data available through an account called "admin" with the password "admin"

This whole fiasco is a damn joke. Most likely on October 3 they CEO and congress with fellate each other. Again another major entity getting away with being incompetent at the American public expense. And not one word from Trump. To focused on securing Beaner, I mean dreamer votes.

archive.is/3cdML Argentina and a different system, but finance businesses are held to very high standards throughout, regardless of local regulation. If they do shit like that in Argentina, you can bet they'll at best be only slightly more careful in other places.

it would blow over easily, but the higher ups all sold their stock before releasing the doomsday news. At the very least, they will be held accountable for insider trading.

We are complacent sheep. Afraid of action because of the repercussions this system has set up. I'm no better and a hypocrite. I hope that the info I post, at best can be spread throughout the Internet. Via social media and of course Sup Forums. I know in my heart, I'm not the only one getting fucking sick and tired of a government that isn't just, panders only to future Voters and big companies that have become untouchable.

You're not alone user. The sad part is that despite your honorable efforts to inform, the bulk of society today will never see the truth. All the enlightened can do is sit back and watch the world change at a pace like never before. I realized this long ago.

I'm permenantly convinced there will always be 40-70% of a story we are not getting when it is broadcasted on any news entity.

Doesn't this allow the possibility that they were compromised before March but didn't learn of it until May? That is, this isn't necessarily evidence that they failed to patch.
Henry Harris
Yeah but we'll never truly know because everyone and their mother is burying this. Even our own god damn president hasn't mentioned a thing about this. He's too focused on muh future votes instead of taking care of those who are actual Americans and more than likely voted for him. Considering 144 million is a large number.

Personally Im trying to just on the class action suit bandwagon. There's a big one starting up asking for $70 billion.
I want some kind of pay back for letting out my information.
Caleb Anderson
how do you check your credit without giving them your information
Robert Jackson
Equifax has a website tbat asks for the last 6 of your social and your last name. From there it'll say either you may have been compromised or that you haven't.
After all that it asks you to sign up for their new program from a year for free. However once you formally sign up you waive all rights to be part of any lawsuit concerning the breach.
Dylan Powell
>However once you formally sign up you waive all rights to be part of any lawsuit concerning the breach. they announced this isn't true after the backlash they got
Kayden Harris
Good luck with that. They deserve every suit against them
Ethan Gonzalez
Two websites to keep your eye on if you were compromised.
The woman in charge of security for Equifax was a MUSIC major in college.
Colton Kelly
Meh somehow I still don't trust them enough for this new and improved system they're offering.
It's like saying "Hey sorry I crashed your car but I took a class and learned to drive better. Can I now borrow your brand new off the lot car for a bit?"

It's true. Check one of Sup Forums archives to find more
With the bot you have to still serve the papers yourself and later show up in small claims court and all that.
For the common person this isn't the most viable resolution.
Ryan Bell
Can we get an info on how to sue these fuckers ourselves, individually?
Fuck class-action attys, they take all the money, you're a literal cuck if you use them, do it yourself lads!

What if we collectively sue them but without lawyers?

As Chief Executive Officer of HP from 1999 to 2005, Fiorina was the first woman to lead a Top-20 company as ranked by Fortune Magazine.[2] In 2002, Fiorina oversaw what was then the largest technology sector merger in history, in which HP acquired rival personal computer manufacturer, Compaq. The transaction made HP the world's largest seller of personal computers.[3][4] HP subsequently laid off 30,000 U.S. employees in order to save 80,000 jobs. The company then grew to 150,000.[5][6][7] In February 2005, she was forced to resign as CEO and Chair, following a boardroom disagreement.[8][9][10]

if you have credit, they have your info
Hunter Peterson
They are one the 3 major credit report companies. This is why this breach is HUGE. They are practically the CIA of finances. They know our whole financial history, and all of its done with or without consent. They have set the system so that by default all info must go through them.
Adam Hernandez
I would be more worried of debt being taken out in your name. Not your bank account suddenly being emptied.

You do realize that there far more credit floating around than there ever was money in the coffer itself?
It is damn near impossible to start a credit freeze right now too.
Each bureau is so backup they aren't even offering the form to be filled out. Just tells me to check back later.

Oh now that makes all the difference. Were there any charges or fees to do so?

Nowhere in the process was I informed about being charged. However, this can vary state to state. And, there is a charge to 'thaw' the freeze, but it's really not much. I think 10-20 bucks
Kayden Hernandez
Bumping for thoughts on that blockchain solution. Is Trump gonna mention Bitcoin ever?

The POTUS hasnt even mentioned a thing about this breach. He's too busy trying to please 800,000 muh future voters herp to even state anything. God forbid 144 million legal Americans mean anything Also, this apparently is far more important than one protecting their finances and spreading word about the breach around
