No surprise here. Not one company are trustworthy. All part of the game plan.

Just one of the problems when using "lowest bidder". We are fucked no matter what.

It is more about corruption than lowest bidder, such tenders usually aren't given with awarding all points to "lowest bidder", they check other things like "technical ability" etc. Anyway since government is so corrupt, only way to get such beefy tenders is by bribing & knowing people in high places.

Wasn't low bid. It was justification which makes this even worse

This action was to establish an order for third party data services from Equifax to verify taxpayer identity and to assist in ongoing identity verification and validations needs of the Service. A sole source order is required to cover the timeframe needed to resolve the protest on contract TIRNO-17-Z-00024. This is considered a critical service that cannot lapse.

Nothing stinks worse than of Sole Source. There was no competitive bidding.

I think it's far worse than some Mexican stealing it. That's the usual, this seems much bigger.

No this is not and I archived this yesterday for good measure. http://archive.is/lxLLw

Report this to your district representative. Anyone live in Ohio? Robert Latta is the chairperson currently holding Equifax to answer for their fuckery with the data. If you are in his district he or his office will listen to you as a constituent opposed to me calling his office.

Also contact the GAO - Government Accountability Office. https://www.gao.gov/about/contact.html

This shit is disgusting. The IRS is fucking worthless.

All part of the plan to centralize it ALL and use it as a political weapon. When they've proven massive security breach and incompetency can slide, now they have the wiggle room to pull all kinds of corrupt shit when it comes to our data. Get ready for the conservative targeting to get ramped up. After all, hundreds of millions of people's data is already "out there" right. If there are shenanigans, whose to say at this point? The entities we've made responsible for ethical and competent management of said data control the entire story.
