Equifax suffered another data breach in March

“Equifax complied fully with all

a

consumer notification requirements related to the March incident,” Equifax said in a statement. “The two events are not related.”

Equifax did not offer any details about the information that may have been stolen, or how many people may have been affected. It's possible the hackers behind the March attack were seeking a way into the networks of major banks, using Equifax as a point of entry, according to Bloomberg. In both incidents, the company hired the cybersecurity firm Mandiant to investigate.
