Equifax to Pay at Least $650M in Largest Data-Breach Settlement (nytimes.com)

The fine should be more, a lot more. At least double that since the article said they are currently paying about the same as their quarterly profits.

But I am glad to see they aren't getting out with a slap on the wrist.

Ok, so this means it’s costing them less than $5/person, So I assume this still means they are turning a per-person profit for accumulating and failing to protect user data.

More big companies punished by payment of pocket change. Makes one wonder why they don't skirt laws on a more regular basis.

Perhaps soon they will.
