According to recent reports, consumer credit reporting agency Equifax is still reeling from a massive cybersecurity breach earlier this year. In the breach, which is believed to have occurred between mid-May and July 2017, cyber criminals accessed the personal data of approximately 143 million U.S. Equifax consumers.
In May, Target was still dealing with the ramifications from its own security breach in 2013. The retailer was forced to pay $18.5 million for a data breach that impacted 41 million customers.
