      Standard national working ratios are 50% to 70%. US in 2015 was around 60%, a nice middle ground.

      So that brings 242m adults to 145m working adults. Which means there is enough compromise for every working adult and tons of non-working. To be working AND get missed is unbelievable.

        @scottalanmiller Ah gotcha, missed the key word in your response. I guess my original statement still stands though, that I am essentially a unicorn in human clothing. lol

          Yes, that is very true. It's impossible to work out the odds, but we know that they are tiny.

            Equifax still missing the point. Patch your stuff and you're less likely to be compromised.

              Equifax pulls the "it isn't my fault" like a teenage who wrecks their cars while texting and driving...

                So can we just start shooting people who do things so erroneous that it's clearly on purpose.

                  @dustinb3403 how about all 143 million of us each get an appointment to spend 10 seconds each wailing on the equifax liars with a cricket bat?

                  In fact, I call for the public torture and execution of any and all business dicks who engage in such chicanery and malfeasance. Make it so brutal that it actually becomes a deterrent.

                    At 10 seconds for 143 Million people there would be nothing left after about 2 million people.

                          Par for the course. Likely there was no breach at all, they probably just sold the data.

                                @danp I'm not surprised.

                                Can we hang him now?

                                        To their defense, I'm sure that the internal investigation into the hack was not disclosed to the IRS. Probably because either:

                                        1. The people doing the negotiations were not aware of the compromise themselves
                                        2. They knew about the compromise and knew of the implications as to what that would happen for their chances of being awarded the IRS contract.

                                          Kickbacks were probably involved.
