They had months to work at it. Due to Equifax's incompetence.

It should be noted, the "official" report is what investigators have been told, not what really happened behind the scenes. Naturally Equifax and its employees tried to play the poor, innocent, helpless corp, with those dastardly hackers almost mysteriously getting in.

Thanks, might be my misunderstanding but I was trying to figure out how the investigators managed to figure out. Feels like the only sure way is from a leak from China, but theoretically they can also track all those servers.

The whole attack/investigation is super fascinating.
