Equifax has an $18B market cap. Can you name one instance of a government imposed fine for improperly stored PII exceeding even $100M?

Furthermore, do you have evidence that the PII was improperly stored, or that Equifax's security practices were lacking in any way? The vulnerability provided full RCE, and I know of no info-sec magic that inoculates you against that.
