In this week’s book excerpt, you can hear Roger reference the big Equifax data breach. This book was written in 2017.  On February 26th, 2023, BJ got a $5 rebate from Equifax for this data breach.  You probably did too.  That’s absolutely ridiculous. And further proof that credit reporting agencies shouldn't exist. *** Photo for today's episode provided by Mohammad Danish Need a Privacy Audit?
