Equifax just had a MASSIVE breach that exposed the personal information of MILLIONS of people.
This was despite the outstanding credentials of their Chief Security Officer.. Yep, she had a BA and Master’s in Music.
Marketwatch has an excellent article about this at http://www.marketwatch.com/story/equifax-ceo-hired-a-music-major-as-the-companys-chief-security-officer-2017-09-15
Some of the comments in the article try to stretch the truth with “Well music is like math”.. Yes to some degree but it is nowhere near the foundation needed to keep hackers at bay. … and .. “Well she worked for 15 years after her degree”.. but, guess what, we don’t know what she did because her linkedin profile is gone.
Nearly 150 million americans had their identities compromised because of this. Congress needs to get off their Keisters and grill the board and management of equifax.
PS – If there are any class action lawsuits on this, let me know. This is one I might Join.
PSS – I’d better check my equifax score. It’s probably 25 after writing this.
