Analysis If Equifax's mother-of-all-security-disasters last year underlined one thing, it was that big companies think they can weather just about anything cybercriminals – and regulators – can throw at them.

One unpatched web server, 147 million mostly US customer records swiped, and a political beating that should pulverise a company’s reputation for good (“one of the most egregious examples of corporate malfeasance since Enron,” said US Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer), and yet Equifax is not only still standing but perhaps even thriving.
