INDIANAPOLIS — Wednesday, Dec. 16 is the final day for Hoosiers to file a claim in the Equifax data breach.
The data breach in 2017 compromised the info of about 147 million Americans, including roughly 3.9 million Indiana residents. Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, driver’s license numbers and credit card information were compromised.
“Millions of Indiana residents were endangered financially due to Equifax’s failure to protect the personal information it was entrusted to keep private,” Attorney General Curtis Hill said. “We encourage these consumers to visit this website and claim the money they deserve. We hope this money lessens any burdens the data breach may have caused.”
As part of Indiana’s settlement, Equifax agreed to pay the state $19.5 million.
All Hoosiers are encouraged to visit IndianaEquifaxClaims.com and file a claim for a restitution payment. Simply provide the information required and, if you are eligible, you will receive a payment.
