The Equifax breach of 143 million individuals’ personal information has drawn unprecedented levels of anger and scrutiny from federal and state officials, with numerous bills introduced, hearings called, and investigations opened.
The cyber event also resulted in the announcement that the credit reporting firm’s chief information officer David Webb and chief security officer Susan Mauldin would retire immediately. Equifax quickly drew criticism for having installed Mauldin, a person with multiple degrees in music composition but no formal security training, as its chief security officer.
