Four members of the Chinese military have been charged with breaking into the computer networks of the credit reporting firm Equifax Inc. and stealing the personal information of roughly 145 million Americans, the Justice Department said Monday, blaming Beijing for one of the largest hacks in history to target consumer data.
The hackers in the 2017 breach collected names, addresses, Social Security and driver’s license numbers and other information stored in Equifax’s databases. The intrusion damaged the company’s reputation and underscored China’s increasingly aggressive and sophisticated intelligence-gathering methods.
The fucking technology whiz kids used DDoS attacks to transfer 7 petabytes of data. But we have since hired external consultants, so it will never happen again.
The fucking competition used digital nukes to make a mess. But we have since told them to not do it again, so it will never happen again.
The fucking North Koreans used vulnerabilities in a 3rd party solution to make a mess. But we have since hired external consultants, so it will never happen again.
