Equifax Slapped With UK’s Maximum Penalty Over 2017 Data Breach

Equifax (which was mentioned often in this blog) has finally had their hands slapped. Unfortunately, the fine is for only £500,000 ($661,825 US dollars) which is pocket change for a company the size of Equifax. The Equifax accountants will probably record it is a petty cash expenditure.

You can read more about the fine and the reasons for it in an article by Natasha Lomas in the TechCrunch blog at: https://tcrn.ch/2DiWFZJ.
