When 143 million people have already been affected by a massive data breach at one of the three major credit reporting agencies, what’s a few million more? That’s apparently the reality for Equifax, which upped its estimate of how many consumers were affected in the hack just hours before company executives were scheduled to discuss the incident with lawmakers. 

Equifax announced Monday the revised figure, now a total 145.5 million customers, after cybersecurity firm Mandiant completed the forensic portion of its investigation of the breach.
