Senators will grill Equifax and Marriott executives about two of the biggest data breaches in history
Executives from Equifax and Marriott will address data breaches in a Senate hearing Thursday in front of the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Investigations.
The report is especially critical as to how Equifax operated its technology and cybersecurity functions, and how employees talked about possible security flaws with top executives. In one passage, the report describes how executives allegedly shrugged off meetings in March 2017, the time a critical flaw in open-source software called Apache Struts was causing havoc at many financial organizations.
"Equifax has cooperated with the Subcommittee in its investigation and, while we do not agree with a number of findings and characterizations in the report, we remain committed to being transparent and cooperative, while sharing important learnings from the 2017 incident with the cybersecurity community," said Equifax spokesman Jacob Hawkins in a statement.
