Laura Atkins wrote a dismaying piece about Equifax's technically
incompetent response to the breach, setting up a website that
looks more like a phish than most phish websites do:

PS:

In related news, CNBC is reporting this morning that the three Equifax
executives who sold stock in the days after the breach was discovered
were unaware of the breach.

Is that supposed to make it better or worse?  One of the sellers was
Equifax's CFO.  Three days after they found the breach he didn't know
about an event with an obvious major financial effect on the company?
The Bloomberg report said these were a one time sales they made on
that day, not part of a prescheduled series.
