Hmm I wonder if you could register a new account for the CEO of Experian and take his identity? That perhaps would create some incentive for them to change to better security. As long as its just grubby peons like us, why should they care?

Too bad our elite senators and congress folks have no interest in keeping people's identity safe.



That is a great idea. All Experian executives and technology folks should have this done to them all day every day until the issue is resolved.


I'm sure they reserve the extra tough prison cells for people who simultaneously commit identity theft and impersonate senators, and I'd certainly not advocate anyone commit crimes. However, I do think that if someone were to steal identities of sufficiently many senators and house representatives, we'd see incentives massively re-aligned within a couple of weeks.
