a small rant about Equifax
Goddamnit, because of your complete and utter incompetence, I now have to have a more or less permanent credit monitoring service. My SSN is on the dark web (I'm sure) being bought and sold by criminals the world over, and now I'm totally vulnerable to scams.
I really hope you fucking go out of business via suits by angry people like me. Just completely inexcusable. It's as if the Social Security Administration opened a website and said HEY CRIMINALS COME FEAST ON ALL OUR DATA!!!!!!!
JFC, I'm pissed. So far so good, which shocks me. I don't expect the "good luck" to continue.
Judicial Panel Orders Equifax Data Breach Cases Consolidated in Atlanta

Multidistrict litigation related to the massive data security breach that took place earlier this year at Atlanta-based credit bureau Equifax will be adjudicated in the company’s hometown, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation announced Wednesday.
The panel has assigned the cases to U.S. District Chief Judge Thomas Thrash Jr., a veteran of MDL including the Home Depot data security breach MDL that compromised personal and financial data of an estimated 56 million customers in 2014.
Thrash, appointed to the federal bench by President Bill Clinton in 1997, is known for his fondness for Shakespeare, fishing and tennis—the only three subjects about which the judge has said he is willing to speak freely.
Thrash keeps a leather bound volume of Shakespeare’s plays, embossed with a color portrait of the Bard, in his chambers and willingly pulls it out to look up and recite favorite passages, once telling the Daily Report, ”I do not consider myself to be a Shakespeare scholar. I just love the stuff he writes.”
