Remember the Experian hacking incident? They knew about the vulnerability,

It's possible that some of the updates you are getting are security patches
that can't wait "six months" to be installed. MS discovers a vulnerability
and needs to patch it ASAP. Now, they may indeed include items not related
to the security patch in that update, but the off-cycle, "multiple times a
week" updates contain urgent security patches at their core.


Not to pick nits but it was Equifax with the data breach:

It was Experion that quickly capitalized on Equifax's f@$kup with its
"We'll scan the dark web" bull**** ad campaign:

Good call there, My comments should have been about Equifax, not Experian.
