Two key U.S. senators Monday sought detailed information from Equifax about the cyberbreach that potentially compromised the personal information of 143 million U.S. consumers.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who chairs the Senate Committee on Finance, and Sen.Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, the panel’s ranking minority member, asked the credit-reporting giant for a timeline of the breach, along with details of Equifax’s efforts to quantify the scope of the intrusion and limit consumer harm.
