So the three executives who sold their stock before anyone else knew about it saved themselves approx. $33 million in losses on their shareholdings. Quite apart from being tried for insider trading they should be made to pay this sum into a trust account for any 'customers' who lose money as a result of this hack.

We are not really 'customers' though are we? We just happen to get stuck with their services because without it we would not get a mortgage or a loan or a credit card. In the old days banks would do this work for themselves, but now apparently it is too much trouble for them. Instead they subcontract it to companies like Equifax so that they can continue to reduce staff, reduce services, and make bigger profits.
