Another Experian data breach

[Exterous]

Experian has had another data breach. Apparently you could view anyone's credit report with just a few pieces of information (easily attained from their other breaches) and a stupid simple URL change.

So glad we have no choice in whether they deal with our personal data and make money off of it. Not to mention the apparent idiots they have working for them. Christ on a cracker...a friggin simple URL edit is all that's needed? Unfortunately the fine or pressure for them to change or be replaced will not happen

I just collected my $7.25 settlement from the last data breach. How do those idiots stay in business?

This is also the reason I have to keep my credit frozen 24x7x365.

I got four years of credit monitoring because I figured a couple of bucks is a waste of time. Glad I got the report, they seem to be pretty through. Just the other day they sent me an email that one of my main email addresses was found on a dark web site with a password attached.

The whole legal system with this is deeply angled toward corporate impropriety.

Doesn't really matter because answers to those secret questions were leaked during the Equifax hack anyways.
