NEW YORK, Sept. 08, 2017 -- Safirstein Metcalf LLP announces that a class action lawsuit was filed against Equifax, Inc. relating to the recently disclosed data breach. According to reports, the data breach purportedly began in May 2017 and continued until July 29, 2017. The hackers accessed names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and driver’s license numbers.
The complaint alleges that Equifax was negligent in failing to protect consumer data and choosing to save money instead of spending on technical safeguards that could have stopped the cyber attack.
After the market closed on September 7, 2017, Equifax announced a “cybersecurity incident potentially impacting approximately 143 million U.S. consumers. Following this news, shares of Equifax fell substantially today with shares trading this afternoon at $122.68 – down approximately 14% for the day.
It was also reported that three of Equifax’s officers and managers sold stock before the hack was revealed.
