what did you think of theth numr they came up with for equifax? >> it felt a little light t me but it's a complicated process in a negotiated settlement like is. what really drives where a settlement like this comes out is how strong is the government's case in the first place a how many customers are implicated. for eachs, one of those custom how severe is the damage? and how bad is the conduct? i think in a ce like this, it seemed to me that some of the factors went a couple of different ways. on the one hand it was a huge breach, 0 million plus customers affected. there's no doubt that equifax did some pretty basic stuff wrong when it comes to data security. on the other hand i would be surprised if there were equifax executives sitting around thinkingmeet's put con data at risk. that's unlikely. the fact of the matter is thety sad rea is that there have been so many breaches, take your pick,arget and sachs and the federal government's own office of personnel management, it's hard to trace any particular fraud back to any particular breach and

>>the new york attorney general said that equifax put profits over privacy.>so they just a lazy or was this we know a little more now about what they did and didn't do yeah it's hard you know we're not privy to that kind of information as to exactly what happened. >>but let's put it this way. no company wants this to happen. none. so certainly they had measures in place where it wouldn't have happened, but it did but it's happening it happens all the time i think the bigger problem though was that the delay they were aware of it a lot of companies are aware of these things we've heard about this for many companies that they get breached to get hacked. >>and then they sit on this information while the rest of us are vulnerable because they're trying to mitigate the damage on there and they're trying to figure out what are we going to have are going to address this and you know you want the right information out you don't want to just kind of jump in and start you know making apologies without having anything to give in return. so we do know obviously that mill

and why did we allow equifax, not we, the state attorney general, but we at large, why did we allow equifaxput an extra dollar of profit into their pocket. as opposed to putting that dollar into the infrastructure of their company to protect our personal information? look, as it relates to equifax, they knew for 145 days not only that their system had been compromised before they told regulators. but they knew it, and they didn't tell anybody. and by not telling anybody, they put all of us at risk. and allowed for this breach to occur. that's like somebody knocking down your front door and you waiting 145 days to hang a new door and put a working lock on it. there's all sorts of questions for me from equifax's conduct. for me what it comes down to is a lack of federation at the corporate level and greedy profitmaking to put above the profits they should have made in order to protect our information. >> pennsylvania state attorney general josh shapiro, thank you very much for your time, sir. for your work on the settlement. and we will see how it all plays out. so thank you very much. >>> co
