HOUSTON, Sept. 07, 2017 -- Emerson Scott, LLP announces a continuing investigation of the Equifax data breach which may have affected 143 million or more customers and others whose personal and/or financial information was compromised while in the possession of Equifax during a period of time that currently appears to be mid-May to through July, 2017.
The cyber-attackers or hackers stole the personal information including personal financial information of consumers which includes names, addresses, birth dates, driver’s license numbers, social security numbers, and other sensitive information. The credit card numbers for 209,000 consumers were also reported stolen along with documents with personal information used in disputes for 182,000 consumers.
