The U.S. Congress plans to probe a massive data breach at the credit-monitoring service Equifax that compromised roughly 143 million Americans’ most sensitive information.

Two panels of lawmakers each announced on Friday they planned to grill the company at an upcoming hearing, the date of which the committees did not share. Still, it’s likely to spell only the start of serious scrutiny for Equifax, where hackers earlier this summer gained access to Social Security numbers, home addresses and some credit card data.
