And then Equifax got hacked. 2017. Millions of Americans data lost to bad actors. They opened the door for months before they found the leak. So you'll forgive me if I ever believe big conglomerates like Equifax saying "we care".

I'm guessing the "over the top bus" is VESA local bus?

I didn't look closely at that article but given the time period, I would assume so.

This article both aged like wine and like milk at the same time.

The wine: data brokers are increasing their spying network

The milk: Equifax is a good steward of their customers' data.

I have a lot of snippets like this from magazines and newspapers. Not sure why people used to cut them out and store with their computer documents. When people donate to the museum (I run kennettclassic.com) they often include a snipped article in their paperwork. Like they were doing research prior to purchasing.

go back about 50 years, 1975, and i've put together a computer from a kit and cobbled together a little interactive screen to enter your name and a couple of other standard facts and one of my frirends looks at this and immediately tarts asking questions about where the data is gioing to be stored and for what reason. the paranoia is very old.
