Woes Continue For Equifax. Another 2.4M Exposures.

Last week, Equifax announced that they have discovered an additional 2.4 million consumers were victimized by the breach last year, bringing the number to 147.9 million.  Equifax says this information includes partial driver's license data, but does not involve Social Security numbers, unlike the earlier announced exposures.

The interim CEO Paulino do Rego Barros Jr. Says this is not newly discovered stolen data, just a "sifting through the previously identified stolen data."

There are several articles about this announcement.  Here is one:
