The Atlanta-based credit bureau announced that
it has now confirmed the identities of an additional 2.4 million U.S.
consumers whose names and partial driver’s license information were
stolen by hackers who penetrated Equifax’s firewalls sometime last year.
The company also noted that its
forensic experts had determined that the hackers were primarily focused
on stealing Social Security numbers. Equifax’s new revelation brings the total of consumers potentially affected by the hack to 148 million.
