The Equifax hack was the nuclear option to distract the US public from the various political scandals. ( conspiracy )

I suspect that there will be tons of death in Washington real soon. Between the Awan brothers submitting state evidence, the DNC fraud lawsuit, The New York Democrat pedophile arrests, etc etc; there are too many scandals to be covered up at once. Not even hurricanes are enough. So a concession has to be made, "cake" has to be offered up to the masses.

Equafax is the ultimate sacrificial target. No one likes them, and they have been the worst offender in the credit worth business. A massive data breach saves the Russian narrative just enough to no longer make it look crazy, while at the same time eclipsing it enough so that people won't bring it up if no one talks about it.

As the Rothschild and other Jews keep getting named, a high value banking target must be sacrificed to the people. Equifax will be that sacrifice. They will throw the book at them, use the data breach as an excuse to bring up stringent data security laws,and take a way some more pesky rights in the process.

So equifax will be in the news, loose ends will be tied up in Washington, and everyone will forget everything important because the big dumb bankers had a data breach.

The Equifax hack, instead, was an effort to create public support for limiting/controlling/eliminating cryptocurrencies.

Maybe so, especially since the Chinese are creating their own.

Sounds like the NSA had this set up, and were holding it for a time like this. Same with whoever controls HAARP.

China banned Bitcoin recently while trying to produce their own. It will be interesting.

i think the corruption is so bad, all any infiltration agent needs to do is pull the switch at any number of various orgs.

not being negative or mean, just saying the obvious. a lot of vps easy prey for 1st-time blackmail and corruption.

a lot of people are.

When I started seeing Voat and a hand full of news outlets covering it (almost as if it was a targeted marketing effort) I wondered the same thing.

Washington has always been against data security. How can they spy if all the data is secure? If they pass any data security laws it will be grudgingly and under duress.

I suspect that wikileaks has changed their mind. Government is inept. They will depend on the best of academia to make a security solution. The problem is that academia is disconnected from the real world, and has no fucking clue how it is used by the end user in the wild.

So now the big bad government depends on a flawed system full of holes, that they do not understand. Meanwhile there are a million bot nets and masking ip masking tools that can allow an attacker to safely hack from anywhere.

In their effort to strip away privacy from everyone for spying, they have become vulnerable.

And yet the still want all companies to put backdoors in their encryption so they can conduct "terror investigations". They aren't smart enough to realize that doing so compromised the entire system.

Equifax just screams stupid incompetence to me.

This is a possibility. The CISO is a woman who has a masters in music composition. This is a huge problem in Tech right now, that they are TOO diverse with unqualified people who do not know enough about what they work on, but fill quotas.

I would not be surprised if security was not on their list, that they did not care.

However Ramn Emanual is quoted as saying "never let a scandal go to waste", so if the politicians and political groups are smart they will use this as a distraction.

Before Equifax she was at Sun Trust Bank. Doing this: https://www.law360.com/articles/549068/suntrust-to-pay-nearly-1b-to-settle-mortgage-fraud-claims

She's a Rothchild puppet- she has ZERO tech experience just executive jobs.

senpaithatignoresyou

That would make her a good fall person.

On the flip side, a good, well thought out attacker would know this. They would see this as a weakness and act upon it.

Especially if they have an anti-Rothchild agenda.

Go watch the video of Equifax chairman.explaining "the incident" Does he not look completly set up/scared?! Play the fall guy evil CEO or else. She's also just a pawn; they would have never let her take over as Executive Cyber Sercurity Officer if they didn't want a "russian breach". They would have hired from outside. Someone with years of experience. Instead they had an i.t. brain drain 5 years running from insider stories. There are bigger forces behind this. The card was played on time - I believe they are ushering us to the new world order crypto currency of 2018 that the Economist forwarned
