The Equifax data breach of 2017 exposed personal information of 147 million individuals, raising deep concerns about the data security practices of credit reporting agencies.
Equifax settled for over $425 million to assist those affected by the breach. Starting December 2024, eligible claimants will begin receiving payments.
In follow-up to the breach, Equifax has invested more than $1.5 billion into improving security protocols and technology to better protect consumer data.
Advanced cybersecurity measures have been implemented at Equifax to enhance threat detection and response capabilities, indicating a commitment to safeguarding sensitive information post-breach.
