    As Brian Krebs reported in the "dumpster fire" article the response site was setup by their PR company. Perhaps they did not want to give away ownership of part of their domain... …

    I don't know if there should be more or less credit, although it sure seems like an improvement to reduce fraud and have less people up to their ears in debt. Even if the companies…
