#1 I suggest they change the password from "admin" to "toast".

#2 The three main credit reporting agencies are Equifax, Experian, and Transunion. Equifax has had a data security breach. It's not clear why the hackers hacked into the data and for what purpose. Perhaps stealing one's identity, blackmail or fraud. Regardless of the purpose, floating credit to someone is based on these credit reports. I can see where these hacks could really mess with the economy.

Equifax was the only credit agency hacked. It would seem that if Equifax data were hacked and altered, it could be checked against data held by Experian and Transunion. If there were disparities, then it would appear there is a problem. Perhaps, some arrangement could be made to true the credit record based on those reports which have not been changed and are accurate.
