Equifax blames known web app glitch for hacking
This article talks about the following: Equifax, one of the biggest US credit reporting agency, has reported cyber-attacks and this is likely to amplify criticism of its poor systems. Information of over 143 million people was stolen including SSN, name, birthdays, etc.
It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future. The future of such attacks is only constant upgradation and training of new cyber threats. Unless, companies practice this, it would be difficult to prevent future attacks. How will Equifax prevent misuse of customer data that was stolen? Will customers face problems and will regulators be given a justified reasoning for this?
