Eye on executives

Bad enough that Equifax did not adequately protect the sensitive information they collected on 143 million of us and then kept the July data breach quiet for five or six weeks, but now it has been reported that three high-ranking Equifax executives - including their CFO and their top IT guy - dumped their personal stock holdings a couple of days after they learned about the problem and a month before they told the public while they watched that stock value tank for everyone else. Equifax says the executives didn't know about the breach, and the New York attorney general opened an investigation. If the investigation finds wrongdoing, I hope that the SEC will take note of those selfish and cowardly actions and claw back the money they made plus some hefty fines just before they send the three of them to jail.
