According to the former CEO of Equifax, Richard Smith, his company has 225 employees. During a live stream to a federal subcommittee, Mr. Smith says that due to "human error," the individual solely to blame failed to notify the organization of the patch required to fix its security hole. The vulnerability left sensitive info of 143 million American out in the wild.
Smith stepped down as CEO last week, shortly after the company's chief security officer and chief information officer also exited the company. New York has also issued a subpoena in regards to the massive breach and the city of San Francisco has opened up a lawsuit against Equifax on behalf of the 15 million Californians affected by the hack.
