After Equifax breach, anger but no action in Congress
Yeah, that&#x27;s why I bought Equifax call options a little bit after the breach was announced. Made good money on those options, and it pisses me off. It pisses me off that after an event that should bankrupt a company such as Equifax, I lay hard-earned on the table knowing that I have an extremely good chance of a healthy ROI simply because of vested interests and status quo.<p>Like other political hot topics, this is one of those things that causes me to ask, &quot;okay, then, how bad <i>does</i> it have to get before populist outrage brings about change?&quot; Something worse happens, and this is the time, right? Nope. And so on from one event to the next.<p>OTOH, in this case maybe the invalidation of vast amounts of data will alone bring about changes out of necessity. There will probably be a rough patch of lawsuits, debate, and perhaps a new law or two, but perhaps it will eventually shake out something better.
