A hell of a guy who doxes people he doesn't like on Twitter.
A statement devoid of context intended for shock value is better off not said.
I'm not sure it's possible to "give" inaccurate information to Equifax.
It is entirely possible to report inaccurate information to the bureaus. Although more often than not it’s on accident, not malicious. Additionally bureaus collect a lot of information from other sources. Some public some private. It’s possible for these datasets to be error prone themselves.
There are however official procedures for disputing/correcting errors in reporting and in my experience they do a pretty good job of validating everything (as that’s literally the business they’re in)
I wonder how much of his personal information was gleaned from "respectable" American companies like Lexis-Nexis, Equifax, and Transperian? I'm sure they gave everything and medical history for the price of a few coins. I have no respect for companies that don't respect my privacy. And I make it a habit of giving them as much useless, inaccurate information as possible.
Who do you mean by "his"? Also, Krebs is a hell of a guy.
Ouch, Poggioreale is not a nice place to be in.

Someone managed to get his name and address and did not realize he was a minor. Brilliant system you have!

Our son (10 yo) had a delinquent medical bill for reasons we don't understand. The creditor can't tell us who sent the bill because we aren't the named party and I'll be damned if I put him on the phone with them, because he is a minor. So, we're at an impasse and no one can tell us anything. Someone managed to get his name and address and did not realize he was a minor. Brilliant system you have!
It's interesting that the "hacker" himself was caught via hackery. When I worked on anti-cheating stuff for a game company, I was able to stop the seller of the cheat because their cheat had been stolen and resold so they had to put anti cheating tech in their cheating tech and it opened a hole I was able to exploit to detect them.

Why?
