NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Former
Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a
partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Equifax
Inc. (NYSE: EFX).
On September 7, 2017, Equifax revealed that a massive data breach, described as a "cybersecurity
incident potentially impacting 143 million U.S. consumers" had been discovered over a month prior, on July
29, 2017. The breach occurred from mid-May through July 2017 and compromised consumer
data including names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, driver's-license numbers and addresses as well as "credit card
numbers for approximately 209,000 U.S. consumers."
As also reported that same day, regulatory filings showed that on August 1 st and
2nd - after the discovery of the breach but before it was revealed to the public - three senior Equifax executives
sold shares in the Company worth almost $1.8 million combined, none of which were part of planned
divestments or 10b5-1 scheduled trading plans.
On this news, the price of Equifax's shares plummeted more than 13% in after-hours trading.
KSF's investigation is focusing on whether Equifax and/or its officers and directors violated state or federal securities
laws.
