    Heard that all of their Infosec group or IT also quit or walked out. Who would stay? Might be good point to get into that company though, not sure if it will be around though and what reputation damage it will suffer.

    Quick check on LinkedIn under Equifax & Security shows a lot of them either retired, 2 months at the company or undisclosed. Funny thing is LinkedIn search still shows them as top results even if they switched their company to undisclosed.

    Pffffft that's nothin. CEO of the financial firm I worked for during the crash got paid $160 million to walk away from the mess he created and causing the company to be bailed out rather than close shop.

    "Equifax has set up a dedicated website for anyone potentially affected by the hack, but on top of asking freshly screwed customers to give Equifax their social security numbers, it doesn’t provide any actual functionality at the time of writing." (https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/07/equifax-managers-dumped-stock/)


    Yeah... let's give them more PII they can lose control of...

    Did they say what his golden parachute is? My estimation would be 50m.

    Kid most of your posts on techexams is BS 

    You do something for a couple of months and then you consider yourself a senior

    Something you say on your linkedin and the fake stuff here dont add up
    I am not sure that resurrecting a two year old post to $h!t on someone was really the right way to go. @darkerz raised a concern, and discussion ensued. IIRC, the overall theme of the thread was that it wasn't about gender, it was about sheer incompetence. And all of this happened with anyone being condescending to each other. 

    And again, it was all two years ago. 

    In another post, you were lamenting the changes and the reduction in activity on TE. This is part of the problem.
