Hack equifax
There is some good news for those 2.4 million, however. Unlike the earlier breach victims, whose birth dates, addresses, names, driver’s-license numbers, and Social Security numbers were accessed — a few hundred thousand people also had their credit-card numbers stolen — Equifax says the only personal data breached for the latest victims were driver’s license numbers. Which isn’t great, but certainly preferable to somebody making off with your Social Security number and your credit-card number. The company did not initially identify these victims because it was focusing solely on the Social Security breach, the AP reports. To see if you were affected, check with Equifax here
