Equifax, a credit and other information supplying service discovered a security breach that may have the potential to affect the information of about 143 million U.S. consumers.
According to Census Bureau estimation, the United States has about 324 million of the population in 2024, which indicates that the Equifax incident influenced a huge number of people in the country.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the sheer scale of the #Equifax breach. They might as well reissue SSNs to every citizen.

Equifax found that breach on July 29, when culprits subjugated a U.S. website application vulnerability to gain control and access to some specific and certain files.
SEC casings firm that those three Equifax Inc. senior executives – Chief Financial Officer John Gamble Jr., workforce solutions president Rodolfo Ploder, and U.S. information solutions president Joseph Loughran – sold shares worth nearly $2 million days after the cyber-attack was revealed. It is still imprecise and vague to consider whether these share auctions had any concern or anything to do with the breach.
