Real or Fake?

After the Equifax information breach, many of their customers were encouraged to visit a site containing consumer updates and security information.  Instead of creating a page from the Equifax domain, the company spawned a new page, one that was easily copied, leaving their clients yet again at risk.  Nick Sweeting, a software engineer proved this point when he created a clone of their page.  His version was so convincing that a representative of Equifax even tweeted the web address (three separate times) he had created.  Sweeting’s page alerted people that it was a fake since his intent was not to steal information but to spotlight the fact that Equifax had created yet another cyber hazard.

Someone Made a Fake Equifax Site. Then Equifax Linked to It.
