How likely is it that Equifax will face any real trouble from this breach? Will this be one of the first cases where security negligence causes real harm to a company? Or will it turn out to be another slap on the wrist?
- potentially every one of the 143M people are going to have some sort of trouble
- WORST CASE equifax shuts down, but that doesn't matter. too late.
- if everyone was to win a lawsuit for everything equifax is worth, they'd get maybe $100 minus lawyer fees.
And worse, now we have a financial system dependent on 2 companies. Making a 3rd isn't an easy matter.
