The Equifax one-off report4 million surnames not considered in an Inaudit? According to Equifax, the reidentified name was not incorporated into the primary revelation because its welfare numbers were not affected.

"It' means reviewing the previously identifiable information that has been taken, analysing other information in our database that has not been collected by the attacker, and making links that allow us to continue to personally identifies others."
CNET points out that the number of persons affected was 143.3 million when the injury was first notified in September last year. The next day, one months later, this number increased to 145.5 million and now another 2.4 million surnames are being heaped. After the injury, Equifax has set up a dedicated page where persons can verify whether they are at risk.

"We' re determined to regain consumer confidence, improve visibility and enhance safety across our network." The Equifax company is currently in the midst of reporting the 2.4 million extra identities it has located.
