Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

The first comment at the bottom of the article says it all:
Equifax did what's best for their bottom line: Good security is expensive, and it's not like being hacked damaged them in any way: They are still in charge of peoples' fates, just like before. So? Why bother?
Not only was there very little fallout (exec parting gifts, anyone?) but they initially wanted us to PAY them for the credit freeze/lifts, etc. It's beyond ridiculous. Business as usual now...
