Let the Equifax hate begin.
Not only did the company expose the personal information of 143 million people, including names, Social Security numbers, addresses, birth dates, and even some driver's license numbers.

But, it's not like Equifax was forced to pay millions earlier this year on charges that it advertised free or $1 credit services that actually cost more than $200 a year.
Oh, it was? This should end well.
