Equifax Data Breach Affected 2.4 Million More Consumers

Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with advertisers on this site.

Equifax has announced that an additional 2.4 million consumers had their personal information accessed during last year’s massive cyberattack.

But the credit-reporting agency says this breach was more limited in scope, involving only consumer names and partial driver’s license numbers. The company said that in most cases the breach didn’t include home addresses, driver’s license states, dates of issuance, or expiration dates.

When Equifax first announced the breach in September, it said about 145.5 million Americans had their personal information accessed, including Social Security, driver’s license, and credit card numbers.
