No. Chances are, if you've checked your credit score through a company that just happened to be running their queries through Equifax, you're screwed. Think of them as "resellers" of the services Equifax provides. It's a price we pay for the pervasive subcontracting culture.
>>
>>62326565

Is it shitty? Yeah. But what's the point of suing them? No one, including some big ass corporation like them is going to ever be safe. They have hackers trying to exploit their shit daily, I'm surprised we haven't seen worse things earlier. It's completely a knee-jerk reaction to sue them.

>>
>>62326984
The arbitration clause was buried deep inside the service agreement for people trying to sign up for Equifax's "credit protection" scheme post-breach. Basically, in exchange for asking the company that screwed up in the first place to protect their credit score, people had to give up their litigation rights. It's fucking predatory and immoral.
>>
>>62327034

This wasn't their fault though? I'm not defending them as a company or their other methods, but they essentially have a big ass steel door guarding your shit, and people still broke through it. If someone breaks into your house no one sues you for letting that happen. It's not in their interest for your data to be stolen. I'm not sure how this is their fault. You are NEVER 100% secure.

>>

>>
>>62327091
The threat of litigation is what keeps those steel doors thick and impregnable, and the threat is meaningless without without actual litigation taking place every now and then.

But you're right. As more details become unearthed, I hope we get to find out just how prepared Equifax was. I pray and hope that it was some undiscovered zero day that caused the hack. Anything short of "we did everything we could, but they still broke through" is going to destroy the confidence in the industry. Not to mention it would land the executives in some hot waters -- especially since there's evidence that they sold off all of their company stock WEEKS before disclosing the breach.

>>
>>62327139
It's very unlikely to be a zero day. It's likely that they had a pentest, then didn't bother to implement half the changes since they weren't needed for whatever security compliance requirement they did the pentest for.

>>62327116

It's not their intention for your data to be stolen, they spend money on keeping it safe. They do all they can to keep it safe. It's completely retarded to then turn around and be angry at them. Again, they have people daily trying to get access to them, eventually something is going to happen, Equifax isn't the first and they aren't the last. You cannot blame them. How is anyone going to benefit from a lawsuit? Are you going to be safer somehow, are they going to try EXTRA harder now? There's nothing to gain from it.

>>62327139

I agree that some threat of litigation is going to scare any company, but again, it's going to benefit no one. If they pay out $10 billion dollars, and say 143 million people get a payout. Great you got like $70? I'd rather that money go towards more security.

>>62327148

I'm not aware of the details, so I have no idea if it was incompetence or not. Even if it was, again, to me it's what their intentions are. They obviously dread this type of thing happening. And they've gone decades without such a large issue. It was eventually going to happen, and it will happen again. It's a completely almost futile effort. You can do you best and poor millions into security and people will find a way. There is some reason to be upset with them, I get it, but this was bound to happen, it just seems like a completely pointless effort to sue.

It's less about the compensation and more about the threat of losses suffered by the company through litigation. It's how capitalism is supposed to work -- the threat of accountability and loss of confidence that drives companies to provide better and more secure services.

Another benefit is that the victims involved don't have to live out their lives with a glaring red mark on their credit, regardless of the outcome of the suit. If it's provable that the loss of credit was no fault of the individual, then they can move on with their lives and continue to contribute to the economy.
>>
>>62327213
>And they've gone decades without such a large issue.
This is the largest beach of this nature ever so by definition everyone has gone decades without such a large issue. Equifax has had plenty of other instances where consumer information has been compromised in the past several years though which is a pretty clear indicator that security was not a high priority.

>it just seems like a completely pointless effort to sue
Suing a company into non-existance because they proved incapable of delivering on their obligations seems like a pretty worthwhile effort to me. Really it should happen more often.

I guess they changed their mind on that.
>>
>>62327303
That bit was added much later after public outcry. Initially, if you wanted them to shield your credit, you had to give up your litigation rights. And there's nothing stopping them from claiming that they were ""overwhelmed"" and didn't have the time to confirm your opt-out request.

from what i understand, it was a clarification on the terms. any agreement after the fact would be unenforceable. it'd be like hitting you in the head with a baseball bat and then giving you a document that says we can discuss what just happened if you promise not to sue. a judge would invalidate it immediately.

It's been happening for years at all the credit reporting agencies because they all had chronically poor security practices. This was just the big one.

There's actually quite a bit of case law in regards to this.

If the data was just out in the open and unprotected then they'll have to pay.

If the hacker had to actually do something malicious at all, then they won't have to pay.

Best way I can compare it, is like how car insurance companies won't pay for a stolen vehicle if you purposely left it running with the keys in it in your driveway.

People are just assblasted about their debts becoming public domain knowledge. Burgers for some reason obsess over their debts as that's their base indicator of status. Must pretend everything is their own money, not overextended credit.

The only people who were "right" here were the ones who didn't want to be a part of it, but knew that it was borderline impossible NOT to be a part of it, literally taking preventative action from the day you were born.

There is nothing that this service can do that you can't also do with 2 free services: Credit Karma (covers Transunion and Equifax) and Credit Sesame (covers Experian).

Between those two services, you are covered. They even alert you the second something new hits your report, like a credit card application (I know because I just tested it last night).

An option, albeit one that isn't free. You can also do an Initial Fraud Alert for free. Lasts 90 days, and every time any new line of credit is about to be opened, rather than getting flat-out rejected by a credit freeze, you get a phone call confirming what you are doing.

The problem isn't with the US government. Social Security numbers were never meant to be tied to credit. It was just to keep track of how many years you worked, so that you could retire when you hit age 65. That's it.

The issue was the private market. You could swap out the number with something encrypted, but that doesn't mean that the credit reporting agencies will store that new thing with adequate encryption.

There is no possible consequence that will hurt even one tenth as much as the harm they can dole out.

Don't believe me? Look up "fractional reserve banking." Only a very tiny percentage of our economy is even represented by actual cash (which itself is backed by nothing). Guessing very optimistically, 90% of money only exists as 1's and 0's, and 10% is physical. With half the credit reporting info of the nation, it would be safe to wager that they could do more than 10% harm to the economy, which would (again, optimistically) eclipse the total amount of currency in circulation.

I just chalk up "Russian hackers" as a knee jerk reaction and a quick response to show that they're not as incompetent as you thought because they already know who did it.

Yeah. That's pretty much what I was getting at. The banking system is flawed, and represents a large portion of the economy. If 2008 didn't drill that into everyone's head, then it's time to wake up, because even without this, the Student Loan bubble is WAY overdue for popping. Only reason that it hasn't is the EXACT same reason it took so long for the housing market to crash (for more on this, watch The Big Short, and disregard the 5 minutes, as that was slapped on for political purposes).

There is no Extended Validation of the HTTPS. The HTTPS isn't secured by DNSSEC. And, because there is no DNSSEC, there can't be any TLSA record. Tutanota, an email provider with free accounts, has this. 4chan doesn't have EV of their HTTPS, but they are secured by DNSSEC (but have no TLSA record).

That shitty company is the worst of the lot, by a very wide margin, which is surprising, considering they are asking for all the relevant info regarding your SSN (the first 3 digits do nothing but refer to location you were born).

When you go to open a financial account like say a savings or checking account at a bank or insurance or a brokerage account, they are required by Know Your Customer laws and anti-moneylaundering laws to collect all your sensitive personal information and keep it on record because the government has a fetish for tracking everything you do like it's 1984. And remember that it's the US government that forcefully shut down privacy things like numbered bank accounts that companies used to happily provide before they got threatened by US gov, and more recently companies happy to accept bitcoin before they got threatened by US gov. So you can't say it's the companies that want to do this, there are companies that would be happy to respect your privacy, it's the US government that is forcing this collection of information. So to those thinking that more government is the answer, think again because they may just use this as another excuse to collect even more information. Remember that they have been proposing for awhile requiring you to login with your government issued ID before you can even connect to the internet and everytime you post on the internet so they can track and monitor all activity on the internet.

As a socialist I can tell you it dies by this splintering too, there aren't really any leftist groups that are actually big enough to do anything right now. But when you have a ideology that has the goal of politcal and economic freedom, people having a lot of different ideas on how it could work is not necissarily a bad thing (although it sucks when you try to organize)

Also side note socialism is about social ownership, not automatically public ownership, communists are going for common ownership of the MOP. Remember the USSR was not at the time communist, but was trying to reach it, and whether they were socialists is up to how you define it.

>>62334508
I am aware that the definition of socialism and communism is different. True communism has never been achieved. It seems that those who obtain power are either unable or unwilling to give it up.

But hey, it sure led to some real cutting edge tech. I mean, using light therapy for cancer in the 1980's? Having a car that was more wood than metal? Couldn't get that in the US, and I'll openly admit that. That said, I don't think it was worth the trade off of waiting hours in line for bread.

I'll be honest if I had to choose between everybody gets to have some and you stand in line for a bit, and some people get it and some don't 'cause market, and still sometimes you have to wait, besides america had/has plenty of soup kitchens russia was not special in that regard.

Name someone going without food for a day.

See, the real thing is that you're terrified that everyone is as selfish as you are, and you might need help at some point, or even right now. For all the "compassion" of the left, they are the least charitable people. For Marx's disdain of Communism, he could never find an unpaid laborer, even as he keep his maid unpaid right up until he died.

Fucking hypocrites, the lot of you.

I'd like to imagine that somewhere, their network team members are screaming and pleading for the top echelon to listen to them for once.

'The hacks happened because their repeated warnings about weak security were brushed off,' they'd wail, 'and now they're about to jeopardize the economic potential of nearly half of Americans.'

But no, the profiteers-in-power won't have any of that nonsense. Roll out the damn website, who cares about security when our company's reputation is at stake! That HTTPS mumbo-jumbo didn't save our database in October anyway.

Also don't forget about overtly political volunteer groups like fighter and volunteers in rojava, and food not bombs.

Communism was flawed as our society just isn't there yet to support it.
There is nothing wrong with Communism, as soon as we are one global nation without religion and governed by an AI, Communism would be a great society to live in.

Retards think Communism is a bad thing without even knowing what it is.

Communist is a cancer which remains must be purged.

Ignoring the rest of your little outburst, lets get to the meat of this argument, eh? Food insecure means "a situation of limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways."

That's what Wikipedia says the USDA defines food insecurity as, so I presume you'll be ok with using that definition (if not, feel free to substitute one in your reply). Furthermore, it goes on to say that people who are food secure do not fear going hungry.

If a fear of going hungry is all it takes to be food insecure, than anyone with a brain should be. Certain circumstance can culminate outside of one's control. But, presuming that it necessitates an IMMEDIATE fear of going hungry, there are more than 41 million people on SNAP. It costs $69,800,000,000 per year. It covers 14% of the population. Do they qualify as "food insecure," or is one out of every 3 people needing financial assistance for food? Are the numbers really that high? What about people who rely on any sort of private charity for food? Do they qualify as insecure? If so, we are looking at well over a third of the nation being food insecure, despite the fact that government not only has the food stamp program, but also subsidizes farmers to produce more food (hitting the taxpayer twice).

Who can say what the numbers actually are? I can't. As the phrase goes, "there are lies, damned lies, and statistics."

The more interesting quesiton is: how many people were food insecure in the USSR? How about Communist China? North Korea? Statistics are pretty meaningless without qualifications, and even less so without something to measure them up against.

Even worse. At least communism has some political theory behind it. Anarchism is just an edgy teenager ideology.

Men were not created; they're just the first step in a process that will hopefully render them as irrelevant and expendable as the dinosaurs and lead to a world of beauty and endeavor that exceeds imagination.

Why is knowing the SSN a security concern?

Do you actually use it as a form of authentication? If someone knows the SSN it means they are the owner?
>>
>>62335127
Used for government benefits, employment, credit cards, loans... pretty much anything you can think of. Add this to the fact that they also have pretty much every other piece of info on you (including past info) that was lost in the hacks, they pretty much have the ability to steal your identity whole-cloth.
>>
>>62335127
Social security numbers despite saying specifically that they are not a national identification number are used as the United States de facto national ID number. If you know someone's social you can steal someone's identity with effectively zero effort and get loans/apply for welfare/open credit cards. If anyone ever tells you the American government isn't brutally incompetent they're lying.

Food security is up from last time though.

I couldn't find food security numbers for russia during the ussr, but you knew what you were going to see with that one, with all the famine and great depression and whatnot.

So is it only a number or an actual document? Over here we have a national ID but you can't just give the number, you have to show the ID with your photo and it has forgery prevention measures just like bills.

The problem is that both ruling parties refuse to issue IDs when they would solve this problem entirely disregarding the fact SSNs are being used like a de facto ID.
A passport card chipped like euro and southern IDs with a keypair would allow to avoid impersonation and would double as a voter ID.
