The hackers were able to obtain card numbers and expiration dates as well as users’ names, which is enough information to create a magnetic stripe cloned card or place fraudulent orders from some websites. Article Here |

And now there is this development: MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WTVY) — Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is among 32 attorneys general calling on Equifax to drop fees it charges for its credit monitoring service and to reimburse consumers who were forced to pay for security freezes to their credit accounts as a result of the Equifax data breach. “By Equifax’s own admission, the company suffered a massive data breach potentially compromising the credit of 143 million people,” said Attorney General Marshall. “While my office and those of many of my fellow attorneys general prepare to investigate the circumstances of this unprecedented data breach, it is important that Equifax stop efforts to profit off of the very same people who were victims of its own failure to protect their credit information.”In their letter to Equifax, Attorney General Marshall and the other attorneys general called on the credit management company to halt its fee-based services to consumers and to extend the period of signup for free credit monitoring until at least January 21, 2018. link |
