Long on big numbers and short on facts.
People having access doesn’t mean people definitely downloaded part or all of the information.
One thinks of two 13 year olds goofing around because they are bored.
“Hey, we got in. What next?” “Hey mom, can we order pizza and watch ‘So You Think You Can Dance?’”
Equifax is a wretched company. I had a credit card that I never made a charge on. I went overseas and when I returned I found that Equifax reported that account was delinquent and lowered my credit rating. I contacted Equifax, who wrote back that they had “investigated” and the negative report on me was true. I contacted the bank, who told me they never reported that my account was overdue. Equifax still refused to correct my credit history, and shamelessly lied about it. You would think that one of the “consumer protection acts” would do something about such sleazy credit reporting companies. Actually, look who was writing the laws: creatures like Barney Frank.
