1. stupid fux made me homeless

2. where did the money go I never got one freaking dime…fucking thiefs

3. I was one of those who noticed this data breach when I tried to use the site, but saw illegal activity by them, then checked their code of their website. So, I told other core developers of Mozilla who were acquaintences to ask about if I was correct about that code being able to cause a data breach. They said yes, it seemed likely. So, I reported it to others, which I think was back in 2016 or 2017. Now, upon watching ABC News, tonight, while studying for my Database Fundamentals college class, I heard them say that that data breach that was reported by a couple people, overall, caused the CEO to resign, four people got charged for it, and that there were a number of civil lawsuits. Good. As it should be.

   Learn the signs of code that will cause data breaches to happen to be aware for your Web Development clients to make sure it doesn't happen or continue to happen to them if another hacks their website and injects code that will cause data breaches to occur.

5. Attorneys get most of that money.

10. 700 million ain't shit for the millions of consumers affected by the data breach. And why isn't anyone making light of the company stockholders that sold 2 million in Equifax stock before the public was even made aware of the breach? They're perpetuating fraud in plain sight, and could give 3 shits about your personal data. Equifax can fuck right off.

11. Businesses are required by law to provide accurate and complete information on credit reports. This includes Equifax. Why are they allowed to continue when they know the data is compromised and inaccurate? Is that not a violation of consumer rights?

12. Buy a "Equifalse" shirt on eBay!  

    (your credit file is probably mixed with a similarly name relative)

13. Learn why you need to protect yourself and if you are affected learn what you can do about it

14. The file a claim site DOES NOT WORK. 🖕
    HOW CONVENIENT.

15. I was affected. My card info was compromised.

16. This explains why some people suddenly had a lower credit score too

17. So I get 125 dollars if I already have credit monitoring… Cheap bastards that my IDENTITY

18. fuck you equifax. it should be 1 billion for this shit company.

19. No such thing as outsids hackwrs thwy own ur info they take it.and use.it at their leisure hackers r rhe scapegoat this scammim crooked world

20. 25 an hr is peanuts.

21. Great, now I can pay off that $60 million CC bill. Tired of getting those late notices

22. Most people will not file claim. Those who claim will be made to jump through hoops. Only few will claim the money. The rest actually zits with company itself. Tell me if I am wrong.

23. So that means nobody will see a dime lmao

24. For those of us who's credit was breached, they should be required to monitor our credit daily for life! This does not end with a smack on the risk.

25. We don't want money! I want my credit cleaned instead of money. That needs to be the normal when your company fucks up. Money is debt!! So you give money when you fuck up. Reputation is better than riches. Take that money and shove it up your ass, then shit it out, and jam it deep in your CEO's ass. You Equifax have been found wanting…

26. nobody stealin my credit. theyd feel too bad about that low score and just hand jt back lol

27. Someone bought a dog using my social security number and the dog was 1 million dollars

28. They should be in jail!

29. Cyber security = oxymoron of the first order.

30. What a fucking scam. The $700 mil should be distributed equally, and only to the victims – whether they had the means, time, and energy to go protecting their data afterward or not. It's events like this that suggest the USA isn't that different from China & Chinese-run (party-run) organizations.

31. Potential relief… you mean a few hundred bucks per person?

32. Didn’t Facebook do this and not pay a dime?

33. GODDAMN FUCK ass piece of shit!

34. Go out of buisiness! Then you can can rot in hell!

35. 700M to whom?…definitely not us , the ones effected…

36. "tell them to bring me mah money" 😏

37. 20k to victims with all the right documents and attorneys? Yeah only a handful will get the money.

38. Can i get a credit card?
    Hold on let us check with equifax……..

39. Everybody in this fucking world sucks

40. Wow that's fucking awesome
