victorkabon Identity Is Dead

Bredren -

As somebody who has a startup in this space and growing, I'd love to hear more from your experience, my email is on my account page, shoot me an email.

We didn't take the crypto/blockchain approach at Truework. In our case, we started from a use case with verified identity needs and we are going towards a more generic identity management system.

victorkabon Moody’s downgraded Equifax from “stable” to “negative” due to cybersecurity

Yes Equifax has accumulated employment and income information through their purchase of The Work Number (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Work_Number) in 2007. They have 200 million of employment records and likely a higher multiple of paychecks.

They have a large share of the fortune 500 companies in the US. If you have worked for a large firm in the past, it's likely that every single one of your paycheck is somewhere in their database.

victorkabon Moody’s downgraded Equifax from “stable” to “negative” due to cybersecurity

Hey Hacker News,

I am Victor, the CTO of Truework (https://www.truework.com), a startup providing an alternative to Equifax / TheWorkNumber.

We are working to change the way employment & income information is shared by employers with a more privacy focused approach where you, as an employee, decide if you want to give the information with the requester.

I started this company after I found out that Equifax shared my employment and income information without my consent when I was working at LinkedIn...
