The major data breach of Equifax in 2017 exposed the sensitive personal information of nearly 150 million people and resulted in a class action suit. Equifax recently agreed to pay out $700 million in claims, including $425 million that will cover credit monitoring and out-of-pocket losses because of the breach, as well as the cost of “identity restoration services” for victims.
Equifax has launched a website where consumers can find out if they were impacted by the breach. Those implicated are considered class members and are eligible to file a claim.
