American politics since 1980:
Democrats and Republicans: “This is a terrible and entirely preventable problem!”
Dems: “Here are some common sense ways government can help fix it.”
Republicans: “Noooo! Regulation of corporate persons ba-a-a-d. Road to Serfdom”
Given their concern and sincere interst in good faith now, it’s somewhat surprising that Equifax didn’t prepare a response in the 15 months before the breach.

Equifax had a massive data breach then charged its victims $5@ to freeze their credit and began to advertise on TV and other places that they’d protect you from the Dark Web (boogita-boogita) with Rudy Giuliani.
Gad, wotta racket these guys have got going. Obnoxious criminals all the way down.
IMO, “good faith” and “Equifax” are mutually exclusive.
This says it all, as far as I’m concerned. Any company which uses Rudy is no company I with which I would choose to do business.
I find it maddening that they still sometimes refer to us as customers…we were the product!
The primary business of Equifax is credit reporting. You don’t have any choice on being a customer of theirs.
