I'm eagerly awaiting the technical details of the attack. If it turns out that their web server has 100% unfettered access to the database then I'll gladly pick up a pitchfork as well.

I'm wondering if Equifax is using Struts-provided REST for its entire architecture. If that's the case, gaining access to the web server was only the first step. From there the attacker could perform RCE on sensitive services.
