John Oliver slams Equifax in brutal 15-minute rant
Watch Next

Financial data and credit reporting agencies might not sound like a particularly thrilling topic for a rant, but John Oliver can inject life into anything.

In the clip above from Last Week Tonight, the British talk show host takes aim at Equifax: one of the big three credit reporting agencies in the U.S., and a company who have been making more than a few headlines recently after an enormous amount of personal data held by them was exposed by hackers.

Oliver plunges head-first down the rabbit-hole in the 15-minute rant above, which sheds light on just how grim the consequences of the whole thing might be.
