I don't think it's fair to be throwing any individuals under the bus like that. There's obviously been several failures at multiple levels but the company as a whole will have to face the consequences, not just a few managers it decides to use as scapegoats.

"Three Equifax Inc. senior executives sold shares worth almost $1.8 million in the days after the company discovered a security breach that may have compromised information on about 143 million U.S. consumers."

Hah, that's actually excellent news for those hoping for criminal consequences. It might be hard to put anybody in jail for their security negligence, but to me it looks like those three have served themselves up on a platter for an insider trading conviction.

Why not?

How about a lot of managers, then?
