The Equifax Hack Just Got Bigger
Just when we thought news about the Equifax hack couldn’t get worse, the company announced yesterday that “an additional 2.4 million Americans were impacted by last year’s data breach.” Unlike the millions of other Americans impacted by the hack, however, these new 2.4 million consumers “had significantly less personal information stolen,” according to the announcement. For example, Equifax claims the “additional consumers only had their names and a partial driver’s license number stolen by the attackers, unlike the original 145.5 million Americans who had their Social Security numbers impacted.”
