Equifax finds 2.5 Million more Victims of Hack

Equifax disclosed that an ongoing analysis of its 2017 breach identified roughly 2.4–2.5 million additional U.S. consumers whose partial driver’s license information was exposed, an omission resulting from earlier forensic methods that relied on Social Security Numbers for victim identification; the breach affects millions, prompted regulatory scrutiny and executive departures, and has led to legal actions and remediation offerings to affected individuals.
