WASHINGTON: Two key US senators on Monday asked Equifax Inc to answer detailed questions about a breach of information affecting up to 143 million Americans, including whether US government agency records were compromised in the hack.
Senator Orrin Hatch, who chairs the Finance Committee, and ranking Democrat Ron Wyden, also demanded that Equifax chief executive Rick Smith provide a timeline of the breach and its discovery. They asked for information on when authorities and the company's board were notified and when three executives who sold stock in the company in August were first told of the data breach.
