Good luck with that, the Experian hack demonstrated there are none for corporations.
Pretty sure you mean Equifax.

Security researchers at ERNW have detailed a vulnerability, BlueFrag, that lets attackers silently deliver malware to and steal data from nearby phones running Android 8 Oreo or Android 9 Pie.
The problem, as you might imagine, is that many of the affected devices have either lost software updates or don't receive them consistently.
As the owner of two Android devices purchased in late 2017, one Sony and one Motorola, both of which have stopped receiving security updates, it is beyond shameful that a product which is still covered under the manufacturer's warranty (24 months in Europe) will remain unpatched, leaving users with only one true safeguard of not using Bluetooth — an advertised feature which consumers paid for.
Hackers of the world, unite!
