California Democratic Rep. Katie Porter kicked off the back-and-forth with the CEO of Equifax Inc., which is still engaged in legal battles tied to its 2017 data breach that affected about 148 million customers. “My question for you is whether you would be willing to share today your social security, your birthdate and your address at this public hearing,” the freshman lawmaker said. “I would be a bit uncomfortable doing that, congresswoman.
Porter pounced: “If you agree that exposing this kind of information — information like that that you have in your credit reports — creates harm, therefore you’re unwilling to share it, why are your lawyers arguing in federal court that there was no injury and no harm created by your data breach?” Begor responded that it’s “hard for me to comment on what our lawyers are doing,” but the congresswoman told him: “You do employ those lawyers.
Go woman!
Equifax is hoping people will forget about the hacking of information on half the country and sweep this issue under the rug.
Yep, this brought me here.
Wow Katie Porter amazing questions to Equifax exec! Right on Katie!💥⭐️🌟✨
