Equifax headquarters, Atlanta
2017
Equifax's Atlanta headquarters. In 2017 an unpatched Apache Struts flaw exposed the personal and credit records of about 147 million people, none of whom had ever chosen to be Equifax customers. The settlement reached roughly 700 million dollars and made 'the data broker you cannot opt out of' a mainstream political problem. The subject dates from 2017; the photograph itself is later.
