Hackers breached Equifax, accessing sensitive data from 143 million U.S. consumers. Equifax, one of the three major consumer credit-reporting agencies, acknowledged a data breach left credit card, Social Security and driver’s license numbers and other sensitive information vulnerable. Three senior Equifax executives, including the CFO, sold shares worth almost $1.8 million soon after the company discovered the breach on July 29. [Tony Romm / Recode]
