Social Security numbers, home addresses, and birthdates for 143 million people??  Equifax's NEGLIGENCE allowed all this data to be stolen.  And the CEO says he's "sorry", and offers up credit monitoring for 1 year??  NO!  You don't get to potentially destroy 143 million people's lives like that and just walk away with an "I'm sorry" and "We'll give you 12 months of free credit monitoring."

This company's entire business and reason for existence is to monitor and protect consumers' most personal and private financial information.  They FAILED at their job ... big time!

If ever there was a reason for a class action lawsuit against a corporation, this is it.  They owe every single one of those 143 million people free credit monitoring for at least the next DECADE, not just one stinkin' year.  And if this breach results in financial losses to any of those folks, Equifax needs to be responsible for the FULL reimbursement of those losses.  Let's see if the FTC has the guts to demand that.
