discuss Where Is Equifax's Domain Strategy For Cyber Security?

[Internet.Domains]

With breaking news of an Equifax data breach affecting hundreds of millions, there is potential for far worse to happen....Equifax was aware of the breach for several months and in this time they set up a victims website at EquifaxSecurity2017.com...This domain was registered on 8-22-2017 and announced today. The problem is that EquifaxSecurity.com was just registered today and it appears to be a different registrant. This is a potential cyber security risk for millions that is absolutely ridiculous after having months to prepare. IMO...


What do you think?


(Disclaimer: I was a victim of the data breach)

I tweeted your post out, I hope you don't mind.

Also noticed DomainGang posted some other domains that were reg'ed in association.

Class action lawyers jumping in already it seems.

How do you know if you're a victim? I've been using them for 15+ years.

I think I'm now on 2 hands of counting on how many times people have lost my information. The last time was OPM simply for applying for a government job (which I didn't even come close to getting).

your information, is no longer yours,

now...it is ours

as we match it with your fb account, your linked in and the tweets, so perfect the profile is built

all while gps'n where you go as we listen to whom you communicate with -

your information is no longer yours.


imo....

As of yesterday, if you enroll in the program the terms and conditions say that you WAIVE your right to join a class action lawsuit and that you agree to mandatory arbitration for any disputes.

Yes I heard about this and saw that some AG's were saying they can't do that so they will have to rescind that offer and those terms.

The waive to arbitration terms only apply to the free service credit monitoring being offered-- not for the Hacking event.

There's an 80% chance you are a victim and all other U.S adults.
