Meanwhile, regulators continue to completely not care about regulating the credit bureaus. Specifically, Experian.
Last summer I wrote about how a ton of Experian accounts were getting hacked when ID thieves would simply create a new account using the target's personal info but with a new phone # and email, and Experian's website would be like, okay, sure, so you're the new owner. No problem. We'll just lock out the old user and give them no way to get back in. Except to, yeah, create another profile. And on it goes.
