Richard Smith's departure is effective immediately, though he will be an 'unpaid adviser' during the search for a new CEO.

"The cybersecurity incident has affected millions of consumers, and I have been completely dedicated to making this right. At this critical juncture, I believe it is in the best interests of the company to have new leadership to move the company forward," Smith said in a statement.

Smith's departure is effective immediately, though he will be an "unpaid adviser" during the search for a new CEO. Until then, Paulino do Rego Barros, Jr., previously President of Asia Pacific for Equifax, will be interim CEO, while current board member Mark Feidler will become non-Executive Chairman.

It will be interesting to hear what his golden parachute amount will be ...

I was just telling a buddy that I really hope they let Paulino do Rego Barros, Jr clean this thing up.

Not really news. CEO's are fungible.

I still have not received a solid answer on this since my info was part of it:

Do I take the Equifax deal with the protection?

Do I freeze my credit and ride it out hoping for a legal settlement?

I'd just go ahead and get protection. You're not likely to ever see any money

Nope. Asking for big trouble if you do.

Class Action lawsuits only make the attorneys money.

I have always assumed China and Russia already had my information. Contact your home insurance company and get a rider added for Credit Fraud. Very cheap. Then just monitor your Credit Report monthly. Credit Karma is free. A freeze, etc is short term. Everyone needs to get a plan together and operate under the assumption that your information is out there.

What will it take for a CEO to get fired? Shareholders need to lay the hammer down on Executive Compensation.
