What is egregious is that Equifax isn't some random company. Equifax is a credit reporting agency and is a goldmine for identity thieves.

After the Equifax breach, I just assume now if an identity thief gives a half assed effort, he can pull up the PII for any American resident. How Experian/Equifax/Transunion can honestly say they have accurate data without physically verifying driver licenses, identity cards, or passports is beyond me.
