Equifax directed victims to fake website for weeks

Someone made a fake Equifax website to share information about the company’s lack of cybersecurity.

And Equifax actually linked to the fake website, according to The New York Times.

Nick Sweeting, a software engineer, built a website called EquifaxSecurity2017.com that looked a lot like Equifax’s normal website.

And Equifax shared several tweets that directed users to that website. Upon realizing it was a fake, the company’s Twitter account deleted those tweets, The New York Times reported.
That is the only website I was directed to when I tried to find if we were on the list of hacked info. Funny, I never did put in my info because something felt wrong. Now to know that even Equifax was fooled. Man, if I didn't trust tech and the modern way of doing things before, this isn't helping.
