Equifax Announces an Additional 2.4 Million Americans Impacted by 2017 Data Breach

Equifax announced today that an additional 2.4 million Americans were impacted by last year’s massive data breach. The credit bureau reported that hackers stole these consumers partial driver’s license numbers, but did not obtain additional personal information.

​This new report brings the total Americans affected to approximately 147.9 million Americans, making it one of the worst data breaches in U.S. history. Equifax says it will reach out to the newly impacted consumers to provide credit monitoring and identity theft protection offered to the other data breach victims.
