The data breach ultimately affected more than 56% of American adults. Personal information of 8,542,568 New Yorkers, alone, was illegally accessed.
Breached information included Social Security numbers, names, dates of birth, addresses, credit card numbers, and driver’s license numbers.
“Equifax put profits over privacy and greed over people, and must be held accountable to the millions of people they put at risk,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said. “This company’s ineptitude, negligence, and lax security standards endangered the identities of half the U.S. population."
As part of the settlement, Equifax will offer those who had their data exposed with free credit-monitoring services for up to 10 years.
