Equifax Inc. said its systems were struck by a cybersecurity incident that may have affected about 143 million U.S. consumers, shedding light on what could be ranked as one of the largest breaches in history.

Intruders accessed names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and driver’s license numbers, Equifax said in a statement. Credit card numbers for about 209,000 consumers were also accessed, the company said.

Big prob. with your link. I am not, and never was, an Equifax customer. BUT, I check my credit score annually and in doing so have to provide Equifax, and the rest of those companies certain information. Fortunately it seems they don't retain it.

The link you provided takes you to an enrollment screen if you aren't a 'customer.'

Why in the hell would I sign up with a group of slackards who take my money and expose me to even greater risk?

By law they have to notify my banks and by law my banks have to notify me. If I suffer loss, any loss, due to their incompetence they haven't seen the end of their liability.

What I do fine interesting is that the officers of Equifax sold stock just before the announcement. If they were aware of this breach before they sold the entire organization should be liquidated.

When I clicked the link it asked me to enter the last 6 digits of my SS.
I've been compromised.
I'm not an equifax customer either, but I've gotten loans.

As an aside back in 2013(?) I was caught up in the Home Depot hack. The bank involved notified me and then cancelled my credit card. Of course they sent a new one but I had two other accounts on that card that I had to switch to another card. Irritating? Yeah it was, but no real damage done in the end.

In 2015 I did some biz with a small Canadian firm and shortly thereafter a charge appeared on my card for a Micky D's in Chicago. I submitted a fraud report, the card was cancelled and a new one issued. Again, other than the pain in the ass no real damage done. I don't do business with them any more. (No, I'm not accusing them of bad behavior, merely bad security. I got what was ordered at a fair price in short order.)

Regardless, watch your accounts daily. Most spend more time 'fapping' for Christ's sake. The tools are out there. I have a home network with more than a few segregated email accounts. One machine is dedicated to banking/financial matters. Emails to that machine don't get lost in the blizzard of bull shit most folks get on their machines. I get all that bull shit too, just not on that machine.

Hmmm, electronic segregation. I must be a racist after all.

Equifax shares plunge as Wall Street says data breach will likely cost company

Analysts are worried Equifax's data breach crisis may cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars and hurt its reputation for years to come.

Equifax, which supplies credit information and other information services, revealed on Thursday that it suffered a data breach that could potentially affect 143 million consumers. The company said 209,000 credit card numbers were obtained, in addition to "certain dispute documents with personal identifying information for approximately 182,000 U.S. consumers."

Suspect trading in Equifax options before breach might have generated millions

Unusual trading in Equifax options in mid-August suggests millions of dollars in profit were generated after Thursday's disclosure of a massive data breach at the credit reporting company affecting 143 million consumers and their personal information.

Shares of Equifax tumbled 13 percent on Friday after the disclosure of the breach. Until Thursday, they had been up about 20 percent for the year.

Jon Najarian, a trader and CNBC contributor, said Equifax options trade infrequently. As an example, in the entire month of July, Equifax put options traded just under 260 contracts, or about 13 contracts a day.

But August 21 was different. Najarian pointed to activity in Equifax puts that day, when 10-times as many were bought than in the entire preceding month.

Equifux security and systems employees are h1b visa holders, so is the CSO.

It's like the fall of Rome.

Don't read WaPo but I've read other stories about waiving your rights to sue equifax.

Some hysterical people some how got it in their heads that just clicking the link, and checking to see if your SS was compromised, automatically enrolls you in a program that waives your rights. Not true, fake news.

If your SSN was compromised they give you an enrollment date to come back and sign up for their protection program. It's not automatic, you have to actually fill out stuff and agree to a TOS that probably has language in it that waives your rights to sue the people you just hired for their services.
