Equifax, one of the three major credit reporting agencies in the US, says the fallout from year's massive security breach affects at least 2.4 million more people than originally thought. That brings the tally to 147.9 million Americans.
How does 2.4 million names go unaccounted for during an initial audit? Equifax says the newly identified names were not included in the original disclosure because their social security numbers were not compromised. Instead, the 2.4 million new names had their identities and partial driver's license information stolen.
