Equifax one Time Report

4 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.

Instead, the 2.4 million new surnames were misappropriated and their identity and information on the driver's licence were taken. "It' not about rediscovered lost data," said Paulino do Rego Barros, Jr., interim chief executive officer. "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.

The Equifax solution did the same at the time, as the software delivered good results even with faked numbers and name. This can be done by following this hyperlink, mixing the "Am I Impacted" buttons and typing in your surname and the last six numbers of your National Insurance number.

Sadly, the utility doesn't say exactly what information has been compromise, be it your National Insurance number of the Part Driving Licence Datas. "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.

And, whatever it's worth, Equifax affirms that customers can access their Locks & Alert to quickly block and unblock their Equifax loan report from a personal computer or portable devices.
