Senators push to ditch social security numbers in light of Equifax hack
>Today, the Senate Commerce Committee questioned former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, Verizon chief privacy officer Karen Zacharia and both the current and former CEOs of Equifax on how to protect consumers against major data breaches.<p>That has got to be some kind of joke.<p>Why would they ask the former leaders of two companies (Yahoo and Equifax) who have experienced perhaps the largest data breaches of all time... "how to protect consumers against major data breaches?"<p>That is ridiculous.<p>They should have asked the current head of security from each company instead.
