[15:42] the site equifax set up to see if you were affected by the breach is the most phishy domain i've seen in a while [15:43] don't use it. [15:51] good morning [15:51] It's essentially a flip of the coin [16:22] if you sign up for their credit monitoring service for free with it you forfeit your rights to sue (class action or otherwise) [16:22] I haven't made up my mind yet [16:23] Yeah, screw that [16:23] 1) credit monitoring = good I guess? 2) they'll probably make it hard to cancel 3) maybe I'll get $5 from a class action settlement? 4) ugh [16:23] I'm not abou to get a service from a company that shouldn't exist in the first plae [16:24] place [16:24] word [16:24] They've inserted themselves into this system and have made themselves part of the problem [16:45] some execs apparently dumped stock before the announcement [16:46] yeah, saw that, good times [18:25] If there isn't some serious prison time for the execs I'm burning capitalism down [18:25] they claimed they didn't know about hte breach before teh sale. [18:26] still... if martha stewart can go to jail... these people can go to jail. [18:27] BULLSHIT [18:27] :) [18:27] Three executives sell in the month before a ruinous breach is exposed? [18:28] That would be like VW folks selling stock months before the whole recall over the diesel shenannigans was unveiled. [18:28] when did they sell? I heard this breach went back to July [18:30] WHO KNEW WHAT WHEN?!?!?! [18:30] ;) [18:30] get matlock on the case [18:30] August 1st and second [18:31] https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-09-07/three-equifax-executives-sold-stock-before-revealing-cyber-hack [18:31] CW: Autoplay video [18:31] lol, wasn't the breach july 29 or something? [18:31] Ayep [18:31] gj guys [18:31] "The credit-reporting service said earlier in a statement that it discovered the intrusion on July 29. Regulatory filings show that on Aug. 1, Chief Financial Officer John Gamble sold shares worth $946,374 and Joseph Loughran, president of U.S. information solutions, exercised options to dispose of stock worth $584,099. Rodolfo Ploder, president of workforce solutions, sold $250,458 of stock on Aug. 2. [18:31] None of the filings lists the transactions as being part of 10b5-1 scheduled trading plans." [18:31] lmao [18:31] The three “sold a small percentage of their Equifax shares,” Ines Gutzmer, a spokeswoman for the Atlanta-based company, said in an emailed statement. They “had no knowledge that an intrusion had occurred at the time.” [18:32] Yeah, right [18:32] <_stink_> quick delete those emails [18:32] You had July 31st [18:32] which is a business day [18:33] if there wasn't an "all hands" meeting on that day then I'm the fucking Vatican [18:46] an easy fix for this would be don't hold stock in the company you work for, or any companies that you directly do business with [18:46] but if life gives you a cheatcode people are generally going to use it [18:46] C types HAVE to hold stock in companies they work for. its the law and if not, its part of their contract. [18:47] well, that's just retarded then [18:47] or they shouldn't be allowed to touch it until they quit [18:48] board members and come C levels have to hold a certain percentage. I'd doubt that these sellers sold ALL of their shares. [18:49] it theoretically makes them more at service to the company because they'd feel the pain/gain accordingly [18:49] jrwren: They didn't sell them all, but it's rather interesting that they sold any during this time [18:49] but there are tons of ways to game the system so... yeah, they rarely feel the pain [18:49] Is August a fiscal quarter? I don't believe so [18:50] yeah, timing, that "10b5-1" thing: usually people like that have a "I have a plan to sell X% or $X every Y months" which is reasonable, as long as they stay within the contractual/legal requirements of holding enough [18:50] But their stock is taking a beating today [18:50] Down 13.78 percent [18:51] it seems like it incentivises it more to fuck over consumers to make a profit [18:51] that's no accident [18:51] also, sounds like a good time to buy [18:51] Ah, their second quarter ended in June [18:51] So, fish smell - rising [18:52] They published their results on July 26th [18:52] nah, they are still over priced. My target price for them is 60/share. I'll buy at or below that. [18:52] jrwren: You'll get your wish, I guarantee it [18:52] cmaloney: yes, but will it be because of this, or will it be overall market crash? [18:53] yes [18:53] I can't not think of that mens warehouse dude when that's said and how he's been a daily toker for a long time, and that's part of why his voice is so memorable [18:54] greg-g: Did he say that he's a daily toker? [18:55] yup [18:55] https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mens+warehouse+weed&t=ffsb&ia=news [18:56] :) [18:56] https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/6yqpi2/so_three_equifax_executives_came_up_with_a/ [18:57] greg-g: That would explain nominating Deepak Chopra to the board in 2004 [18:57] (letting that charlatan anywhere near money is a bad move) [18:59] why would he be on the board of that company. [18:59] heh [19:00] UGH... board membership pisses me off. [19:00] apparently weed == ok with aura pettelers? :) [19:01] Deepak makes me wish there was a hell for him to burn in [20:31] * rick_h just shakes head...https://twitter.com/zackwhittaker/status/906247688768905216 [20:40] Naturally [20:41] am i right on time? [20:42] gamerchick02: For the rest of your life? Sure thing [20:42] for anything else? Not sure. [20:42] OH CRAP wrong chat [20:42] LOL [20:42] np [20:42] that was meant for the bugcast [20:42] but anyway, how's you? [20:42] Surviving [20:42] you? [20:42] not bad [20:42] learning [20:43] That's always good [20:43] yeah [20:43] i've learned more about Monroney labels than i care to know! :-P [20:44] That's more than I know about them, so yay! :) [20:44] Oh nice: the stickers for new vehicles [20:44] Hah, that's awesome [20:44] yes [20:44] labels. SO MANY LABELS [20:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25492402/ <- File this under "what the fuck are you asking me here?" [21:27] who knows? that sounds like spam
