Equifax Data Breach

Experts are calling the data breach one of the largest in history with hackers now having access to full names, social security numbers, birthdates, addresses and some driver’s license numbers.

Upsetting consumers even more is that the hack, which apparently began in May, was discovered on July 29, but not announced to the public until September 7, 2017.

Equifax has created a website, www.equifaxsecurity2017.com, for consumers to see if their information is at risk and is offering freed credit monitoring. However, some experts are warning people not to use the monitoring until Equifax removes a clause that appears to strip consumers of the right to sue the company or join a class action lawsuit.

What is Equifax?

Equifax is one of three nationwide credit-reporting agencies that track and rate the financial history of consumers. The company gets its data from credit card companies, banks, retailers and lenders — sometimes without you knowing.

Equifax said on September 7th 2017, that hackers had gained access to company data that potentially compromised sensitive information for 143 million American consumers, including Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers.
