Equifax CEO Hired a Music Major
as the Company's Chief Security Officer
Susan Mauldin, the person in charge of the Equifax's data security, has a bachelor's degree and a master of fine arts degree in music composition from the University of Georgia, according to her LinkedIn profile. Mauldin's LinkedIn profile lists no education related to technology or security. If that wasn't enough, news outlet MarketWatch reported on Friday that Susan Mauldin's LinkedIn page was made private and her last name was replaced with "M", in a move that appears to keep her education background secret.
Earlier this month Equifax, which is one of the three major consumer credit reporting agencies, said that hackers had gained access to company data that potentially compromised sensitive information for 143 million American consumers, including Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers.
Not so good huh?
- at least one round of Congressional hearings in which company CEO Richard Smith will have to explain why the company waited for weeks before making this unprecedented data breach public (a breach which came due to a vulnerability the company was aware of and should have patched months prior) and will likely culminate with prison time for one or more company executives, questions have emerged if Equifax was involved in another cover up, this time involving the background of its Chief Security Officer.
Who paid who to do what and how much? Are they still in the country or have they flown the coop
Equifax execs sold stock before hack was disclosed
Is a woman diversity hire the reason behind one of the largest hacks of financially sensitive data ever?
From the word go, this story smacks of plausible deniability. Hiring a music major to handle security assured that a hacker team would be able to penetrate the system. Selling the stock showed the intent to profit from the breach, despite ethical considerations, and waiting for weeks allowed the data to be utilized before it was known to be compromised.
I suspect this breach was either orchestrated by Equifax execs themselves, or 'state actors' with their knowledge.
Great research on this post!
thanks
I didn't know and haven't seen reports there was insider selling before the hack was disclosed. I hope they get taken to the cleaners, but they won't. Great find.
is incredible when they put in important positions to friends or relatives who are not qualified to be able to carry out it, it is a corruption of never ending! Thank you for sharing the information, regards.
Nice post, upvoted
This is a False Flag to destroy everyone's credit.
Eventually it will be used to usurp our private property rights.
The gov't could move in and implement Agenda21 with such a breach. Eventually it will be shown to be of 'Russian Origin' of course.
Russia Russia Russia
Next we will be told to Chip-Up in order to partake in daily commerce activities.
Then the RFID which is already hack-able will later be deemed as hacked by... oh lets say Russia Russia Russia. So we will be given a Genetic ID that cannot be hacked or stolen... unless someone hacks and steals your hand or head.
Eitherway we are being marched head long to slaughter with the rest of the sheep.
Got any dip?
Just my two STEEMS Worth.
Forgot to mention. GREAT INFO DISCLOSURE.
