I initially read that as "Esquilax hacks 143 million"

And I was going to say he's been very busy...

Me also. The one article says their site is being over loaded. We should have gotten a yes or no answer.

What are the odds that Congress is going to investigate this breach? That data shouldn't be available unmasked, let alone in bulk. PII and payment card numbers stored as plaintext is a huge security problem.

With hundreds of millions of people affected, it's unlikely that they're prepared to handle that kind of load.

Well, I tried it again and just got "Your enrollment date (for the free credit monitoring) is........" for the third time. 

I'm thinking that's their subtle way of saying yes, your data was hacked.

I'll bet the tort lawyers are drooling down their $300 ties at the settlement they could get with 143 million clients.
