I don't think it's a big enough of an outrage or else it might be a campaign issue and some politicians may promise to address it.

There are various proposals but politicians don't feel pressure to act.
I mean, the info's been floating around for a while even before the Equifax breach. I'm not sure the breach itself really added much to that.

Anyway, IIRC it's free to freeze your credit reports now (regardless of state), so that's something. IMO it's nowhere near enough but I doubt we'll see much additional movement at the political level any time soon.
