I'm not sure what makes you think that, given you don't know any of the details involved.
In my case, TransUnion received credit checks for me with dates of birth 1 Jan, 2 Jan, 3 Jan, 4 Jan and so on until they hit upon my date of birth, then a credit account was opened that same day, then later in the day a third party credit monitoring agency accessed my credit report and they were allowed to pass 'knowledge based authentication' using their knowledge of that credit account.
I am completely sure TransUnion could have detected and foiled this incredibly obvious attack. I'm also completely sure they could have identified other victims of the same attackers and informed them, but they chose not to.
