And to think some people think Washington DC is a swamp of corruption!

IRS awards multimillion-dollar fraud-prevention contract to Equifax

Quote:
The no-bid contract was issued last week, as the company continued facing fallout from its massive security breach.
By STEVEN OVERLY and NANCY SCOLA 10/03/2017 03:52 PM EDT Updated 10/03/2017 07:24 PM EDT

The IRS will pay Equifax $7.25 million to verify taxpayer identities and help prevent fraud under a no-bid contract issued last week, even as lawmakers lash the embattled company about a massive security breach that exposed personal information of as many as 145.5 million Americans.

Now they can let our tax return info be hacked. Unbelievable. No bid contract?

I thought it was an article from The Onion. Sad but not surprising.

Washington is a total cesspool with the most corrupt administration in history at the helm.

You have to shake your head at this.

First all our credit info.
That's not enough so the IRS will hand them our tax info to leak out.

What's next..having them secure the SSA database via a no bid contract ?
