> They routed traffic through approximately 34 servers located in nearly 20 countries to obfuscate their true location, used encrypted communication channels within Equifax’s network to blend in with normal network activity

How cool is that. They have been able to grab and correlate netflow from across 20 countries.

It looks like they’re using the common meaning of routing and are implying tunneling instead actual route hijacking. So finding which servers they’re tunneling to is thorough but doesn’t seem all that impressive.
Did they want to get find then?
I don't think the implication here is 34 hops, but 34 different VPN exits that showed up in log data.
