Equifax CEO out! Barney Fyfe and Elmer Fudd appointed interim CEOs

Ok, so the second half of that title is a joke.  But I for one would not be surprised considering how Equifax has handled the rest of the fall out from their huger than huge data breach that exposed the lives of 143 million Americans to the financial and emotional ruin of identity theft.

Equifax CEO Richard Smith was not fired, however.  He decided to retire, much like the politician in the middle of a huge scandal that suddenly wants to spend more time with his or her family.

Paulino do Rego Barros, Jr., the president of Equifax's Asia Pacific region, has been named interim CEO until a new Sith Lord can be found to replace Smith.
