The End Game
Once data is released, there's no getting it back.  Unless something changes, more and more data will be released.  As analytics advances, much more data will be made knowable through inference (having "yellow" and "blue" allows you to infer "green" with great confidence).  We need to focus on how to make private data useless to thieves.  If someone who is not me cannot use my data to impersonate me, then I don't really care that it's out there.  Medical data and other types of personal information is on a different level.  It can be used to extort people who might be vulnerable to such criminal methods.  Part of our problem is that it's still too easy to impersonate someone else with a little bit of their data.  That's the core problem we really aren't addressing.  At some point, we run out of fingers to put in the dike.

Dispicable and probably criminal
Equifax is dispicable to include an arbitration clause in the sign-up acknowledgement as a prerequisite in front of the free credit monitoring offering.  That consent waives a consumers right to class action.

The EFX stock sales by company officers following the breach (some $1.8M) should be investgated by the SEC, too.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
