Equifax Inc. said its systems were struck by a cyberattack that may have affected about 143 million U.S. customers of the credit reporting agency, shedding light on one of the largest and most intrusive breaches in history.
Intruders accessed names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and driver’s license numbers, Equifax said in a statement. Credit card numbers for about 209,000 consumers were also accessed, the company said. Equifax shares dropped more than 8 percent in after-hours trading.
“This is clearly a disappointing event for our company, and one that strikes at the heart of who we are and what we do. I apologize to consumers and our business customers for the concern and frustration this causes,” Chief Executive Officer Richard Smith said.
The company set up a website, http://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com, that consumers can use to determine whether their information was compromised. It’s also offering free credit-file monitoring and identify-theft protection.
Markets are holding up well — and seem to be stable even in some of most disastrous times we have seen in a lifetime … even worst data breach of all time as A3 shares — and most powerful earthquake of all time in Mexico … now what does the good book predict in MAT 24 😉 – but I hope for best for our world & many years ahead
the FED will not raise rates & infrastructure will ramp up big time as well to actually improve economy better than before the storms (based on economic theory on how money circulates multiple times in a local economy) .. whole nations in Caribbean will have to be rebuilt also …. maybe it’s destiny having a “great builder” in the White House … I am remembering all in path of storm for safety
