The problems that consumers have regarding the massive Equifax data breach won’t be going away anytime soon. We wrote about Equifax here and here. Equifax’s response is a raging inferno of incompetence.

Well over 44 million in the UK had their data compromised. Then Hold Security broke the news that Equifax’s South America operation was so compromised that it had to be shut down. Why? The hackers gained access because the system password was Admin/Admin! Seriously, you cannot make this stuff up.

Then we find out that the Chief Security Officer for Equifax, Susan Mauldin, had absolutely THE best credentials for an IT job…EVER!

Yes, you read that correctly. Now we find out that Equifax wasn’t even monitoring the site THEY created to “help” consumers get information regarding the security breach!

For nearly two weeks, the company’s official Twitter account has been directing users to a fake lookalike website, the sole purpose of which is to expose Equifax’s reckless response to the breach.

Can ANYONE at Equifax please explain WHY they didn’t create a subdomain on the original Equifax site and direct consumers there instead of creating a site that allowed for massive phishing scams that further imperil consumers?
