What Hacker News says?
I think this is missing the point about the Equifax hack. Here is my opinion in more detail: https://ciexinc.com/blog/quick-assessment-of-a-companys-secu...

HN discussion> There is no way that their upper management didn't know that they would be an amazing target for a hack Presumes facts not in evidence. From the nyt article https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/23/opinion/solarwinds-hack.h... "The market loves to reward corporations for risk-taking when those risks are largely borne by other parties, like taxpayers." See articles https://ciexinc.com/blog/solarwinds-articles/culture.htm…

HN discussionThis has been a puzzle for a while, and I am not yet satisfied with the answer so far. The closest to an explanation is found here: https://ciexinc.com/blog/solarwinds-articles/initial.html . I feel like this says "well, we are not really sure".
