Companies have been collecting information on me, publicly and privately for about as long as I have been alive. Some metadata from my childhood prior to my connection to the rest of the world via the internet was likely recorded somewhere by my parents. As long as the data exists, it can be modified or transferred. If it has already been transferred to a server, then it is not unlikely that it could have combined some data into a package, such as an electronic signature on one document with the submission of a separate web form which contained impersonal yet highly specific data.
Since it is possible that the data was transferred, and because companies who collect data and perform services for free have an incentive to generate revenue in some way, perhaps Equifax is simply an unwitting coverup for the actions of private companies which conspired to trade our information.
The hack on Equifax has not yet resulted in any real sanctions or actions to recover the trust of the public. Perhaps they are in on it. There is so much data flowing out of our personal computers and onto the web, that it is highly possible that it was harvested onto a private server.
Perhaps Equifax is the coverup for businesses exchanging data illicitly, which in turn is the coverup for some wholly criminal enterprise exchanging data. I mean that the illicit exchange was intercepted, although at that point even a legitimate businessperson would become a criminal upon involvement in the transaction (or by association in conspiracy).
