Hackers also stole credit card numbers of over 209,000 consumers

Equifax, one of the three major credit reporting agencies, reports today that a data breach could have affected over 143 million consumers in the United States. The breach potentially leaves birth dates, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, addresses, and other sensitive information vulnerable to hackers. The company claims that it discovered the breach on July 29 and says that “criminals exploited a U.S. website application vulnerability to gain access to certain files.”
