Equifax

Equifax Inc (EFX.N) found another 2.4 million U.S. consumers hit by a data breach last year, bringing the total to 147.9 million.

The breach has compromised consumers names and driver’s license.

But noted less information was taken because it did not include home addresses, driver’s license states, dates of issuances, or expiration dates.
