Warren Blasts Equifax After Disclosure of 2 Million More Americans Affected by Data Breach
Friday, March 02, 2018
Senator Elizabeth Warren
Equifax’s disclosure comes after Warren launched five-month investigation and report on the data breach.
Warren released the following statement:
"I spent 5 months investigating the Equifax breach and found the company failed to disclose the full extent of the hack. Today, Equifax acknowledged that 2.4 million more people were affected than initially reported and that driver's license information was also stolen. Equifax can't be trusted. Their mistakes allowed the breach to happen, their response has been a failure, and they still can't level with the public. Enough is enough. We have to start holding the credit reporting industry accountable. I have a bill with Senator Warner that would impose massive, mandatory penalties when companies like Equifax expose millions of Americans' personal information. If we want to prevent another Equifax breach, the Senate should pass it.”
