Remember the Experian hacking incident? They knew about the vulnerability,
they had access to the fix. They chose not to patch their system in a timely

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:

The Equifax breach (a) did not result from a Windows bug, and (b) was
on a public-facing web server. The machine that I use to do my job is
not a public-facing web server.
