|    Identity Thieves Bypassed Experian Secur    |
|    15 Jan 23 22:10:05    |
      From: monty@roscom.com              Identity thieves have been exploiting a glaring security weakness in       the website of Experian, one of the big three consumer credit       reporting bureaus. Normally, Experian requires that those seeking a       copy of their credit report successfully answer several multiple       choice questions about their financial history. But until the end of       2022, Experian’s website allowed anyone to bypass these questions and       go straight to the consumer’s report. All that was needed was the       person’s name, address, birthday and Social Security number.              https://krebsonsecurity.com/2023/01/identity-thieves-bypassed-ex       erian-secur=ity-to-view-credit-reports/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
