"On security, Lintner said Experian hasn't experienced a data breach in a decade -- the last occurred two weeks into his tenure."

Maybe, maybe not.

Experian did disclose a data breach in August 2020 that happened is South Africa.

Experian were recently fined €2.7M for violation of the GDPR in The Netherlands (see https://www.autoriteitpersoons..., in Dutch).
In reaction, Experian decided to close its business in The Netherlands (see https://nos.nl/artikel/2586754..., also in Dutch).

This tells me humans do a decent job. Given humans' performance I doubt if it is worth all that comes with GDMI (which may indirectly be causing hurricanes itself).

Please point out where it says you need consent to ensure normal operation at a technical level.
To my knowledge it is perfectly acceptable to have IP addresses for that purpose.
However, when you collect them for use at the business level (e.g. to profile users), that's a different story.
