What happened
Equifax on Sept. 7 announced the cybersecurity incident, one of the largest in history. Unauthorized data access occurred from mid-May through July 2017. The breach was discovered on July 29.
The personally identifiable information (PII) that was accessed includes these details:
- Names
- Social Security numbers
- Birth dates
- Addresses
- Driver’s license numbers (in some cases)
The company detailed the data breach in its press release. Among the key facts:
- A U.S. website application vulnerability was exploited by criminals to gain access to some files.
- There is currently no evidence of unauthorized activity on core consumer or commercial credit reporting databases.
- The company is conducting an assessment and providing recommendations on next steps.
"This is clearly a disappointing event for our company, and one that strikes at the heart of who we are and what we do,” Equifax’s chairman and CEO said in the press release. “I apologize to consumers and our business customers for the concern and frustration this causes."
Immediate steps to take
What can you do if you’re a consumer affected by the breach?
- Watch your mail. The company plans to send direct mail to consumers whose credit card numbers or dispute documents with PII were impacted.
- Stay updated. The company has created resources to assist consumers. These include online information at www.equifaxsecurity2017.com and a call center at 866-447-7559.
