Equifucked - Mister Metokur

So Equifax, one of the three companies which is used to track and report data concerning the credit scores of people living in America, was recently revealed to have had their data security breached back in May-July. This breach resulted in 143 MILLION people’s information being stolen. Let me repeat that: In a country of ~320 million people, the information of 140 million, nearly HALF OF ALL US CITIZENS, was stolen.

This information includes social security numbers, address both past and present, past and present employers, credit card numbers, and much more. All the information necessary to commit identity fraud.

And the reason we’re only finding out about this now, in fucking September, 2-3 months after the fact, is because the fucking executives all had to sell off their stocks first.

So congratulations, if you’re an American, there’s basically a 50/50 chance that somebody you don’t know has pretty much all of your private information.

I know some of you are not affected but please literally boost this to everyone ever

Hey kids, this is real, here’s some more info at Forbes

 HERE -> THIS LINK <- is the Equifax site where you can check if you were impacted, and enroll in free monitoring and protection to help catch any suspicious activity. 

As of right now, they’re a couple days out with meting out enrollment to keep stuff from crashing due to requests. This is i m p o r t a n t. 

If you have any form of loan, credit card, utility account…. check yourself.

HUGE FUCKING WARNING ON THAT LINK!

If you enroll you waive your right to participate in the lawsuit!

Friendly reminder that “credit monitoring services” like the one they’re offering to enroll you in do not, in fact, do jack shit.

Now the real question is… Considering how the announcement was delayed to allow time for the stocks to remain at full value AND for the management to sell stock at that value… Doesn’t that count as insider trading and a giant act of fraud?

Oh yeah definitely. Pretty sure they’ll be declared “too big to fail” though.

@cookingwithroxy

@ everyone asking why i’m saying i want the equifax execs lynched 

Also, don’t use the security site, they’re keeping a fucking web-based log of everything coming in with JUST as little security as before.
