I’m just waiting for experion to get hacked again and all this info to be public.


That was my first thought—then I recalled, "no that was Equifax, wasn't it?"

Sadly, no. It's been all of them, including Experian. This seems flat-out mad to me.

Well, the Equifax hack was way bigger. Probably took a little pressure off of the other bureaus when that happened.

Periodic reminder that there are more bureaus than just Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and all of them buy and sell your data every day. One of them [3] even sells your salary data to prospective employers so that they can negotiate against you more effectively.

Holy shit at number three. As if we didn't have enough reasons to despise Equifax already.
