Recent news on the story has verified that commonly frequented credit report website, AnnualCreditReport.com, was infiltrated by hackers without the company even realizing it.
Late Tuesday, credit bureau, Equifax, confirmed that some of the credit reports highlighted on the The Secret Files hacker page were retrieved from AnnualCreditReport.com:
Equifax can confirm that fraudulent and unauthorized access to four consumer credit reports has occurred through the AnnualCreditReport.com channel, a free public service that allows all consumers to get annual access to their credit report, according to a statement released by Equifax.
How pathetic.
And remember, the site was "protected" by norton secure.
Now, we have to wonder, just how many other people's data was given by them...
Idiots.
*edit, forgot a "?" in the title.
