#1 1. Perfect choice. Who knows more about fraud than Equifax!

2. People are focusing on the wrong aspect of the Equifax breach. Yes, they were stupid and incompetent. So what? That data has already been leaked by a dozen companies and government agencies, and it will be leaked again. All your data was available for $10 on the dark web before the Equifax breach. So, the question isn't whether Equifax can be trusted with your data, it's whether anyone can. And if no one can be trusted with it, then why are they allowed to have it?

#2 Equifax should
(1) have fines assessed for damages as mentioned before
(2) have civil lawsuits attached all remaining assets
(3) have illicit stock gains / compensation to their execs clawed back
(4) 1-3 being done, have their corporate charter revoked.

#4 Punishing Equifax = punishing the shareholders. Why? What did they do?

Criminal penalties for the C-level folks are fine, but don't solve the underlying problem. Everyone everywhere has all your data. Now.
