Webb, David
Equifax data breach Chief Information Officer (CIO), 2010?
– Sep 2017, when he retired comfortably, albeit in
disgrace.
No IT education. Only a BA in
Russian and an
MBA (Master of Business Administration).
Foreigner: British. BA in Russian (interestingly, the
Equifax hackers might have been Russian) from the University
of London. An interview with him on Indian (from India) TV
clearly shows he has a British accent. See
Principles
of IT Incompetence (IT Hiring: Foreigners).
Among other IT incompetent mistakes, Webb neglected to have a
known security hole patched. In the first half of 2017, these
mistakes let hackers, in one of the most massive data breaches
of its time, have the most sensitive financial information of
millions of people, including government employees,
particularly those in national security. He also let hackers
change credit reports, which are the basis for background
checks, particularly in national security. Equifax's credit
reports are thus now worthless, which effectively destroyed
Equifax. See

Dead: Hacked So Credit Reports
Worthless.
