5 things to know about the Equifax hack
– moneysense.ca
MONTREAL — Credit monitoring company Equifax says it was hit between mid-May and July by a high-tech heist of sensitive personal information from about 143 million Americans, including an unspecified number of Canadians.
Here are five things you need to know:

Equifax says U.S. focused theft of data touched ‘certain’ Canadian residents
– canadianbusiness.com
MONTREAL _ Canada’s Privacy Commissioner has asked credit monitoring company Equifax to provide a full report on its large-scale security breach, including details on how Canadians were affected.
The agency reached out to the company Friday after it received complaints about the hack of sensitive personal.
“Given the potential sensitivity of the information, we expect that Equifax will adopt measures to help affected individuals,” spokeswoman Valerie Lawton wrote in an email.
Canadians are getting little information from Equifax regarding the status of their personal information after the company revealed on Thursday that it was the victim of a massive security breach during the summer.
Equifax said the private information of up to 143 million people in the United States had been compromised, along with certain Canadian and U.K. residents. The company is refusing to say how many Canadians were affected or what data had been stolen in those cases.
