What news story from 2017 has everyone seem to have forgotten?


  1. Equifax had a security breach that compromised the personal information of around 140,000,000 Americans. That's over 1/2 of Americans over 16 years of age. People are still getting surprises and finding out their information was leaked out and several of the company execs sold out before the news was announced. This got swept away really quickly when it should have been cause for major changes.
