The news this week of a data breach affecting 106 million Capital One customers is yet another reminder that companies entrusted with our personal data can and must do better to keep it private and secure.1
As you take steps to ensure your information wasn’t compromised in this latest breach, we wanted to make sure you know that Equifax, a huge credit reporting agency, just settled with the Federal Trade Commission in a deal that requires the company to pay up to $700 million — and they could owe you a share of that sum. If you were affected by this data breach, you’re eligible for a cash payout of up to $125 or up to 10 years of free credit monitoring.2
Equifax has agreed to compensate 143 million Americans whose personal data was compromised because of a breach of their systems. Use this look up tool to find out if you were affected & file a claim for compensation today.
