        That's what they get for running ancient stuff that - no one serious has eyes on that stuff any longer.

          We are a part of that group, being an adult in the US, who has credit means you and I and just about everyone else is screwed.

            The fact that they didn't patch it makes it more concerning. It's not necessarily the architecture at that point. If they had updated their infrastructure and implemented a patch this would have been a non-issue.

              @dustinb3403 So where does it go from incompetence to malevolent incompetence?

                It's already at the point of being intentional. Everyone in the chain of command from the CEO to the head of the IT department to the System Administrator who didn't patch the system should be brought up on charges and burned at the stake.

                  Is that true? The exploit has been there in Struts for a while but only recently announced. The breach was a while ago. I'm not sure that Struts had been patched at that point.

                    When you accept the job knowing you are incompetent.

                      It was patched two months prior to when the web application was exploited.

                        No Equifax failed to patch until 2 months after they were breached.

                          Equifax was breached in May. Patch for Struts was in March. They announced the breach last week.

                                Was the Eqifax breech because of the march strus flaw or a more recent one?

                                Just making sure the actual facts are known.
