We still don't know for sure what vulnerability was exploited, and it's entirely possible it was a so-called Zero Day exploit, meaning there's not really anything Equifax could have done to stop it.
Fascinating stuff, and I've been impressed by the accuracy of the portrayal of computer crime by the show.
I read it was an Argentinean website for Equifax employees to log in to check credit reports or some shit. Not sure if it's true, but the report was the credentials were admin/admin.
Also, I love Mr. Robot.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
