Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Equifax Inc. Investors and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm (EFX)

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Equifax Inc. (“Equifax” or the “Company”) (NYSE: EFX) securities between February 25, 2016 and September 7, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Equifax investors have until November 13, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors suffering losses on their Equifax investments are encouraged to contact Lesley Portnoy of GPM to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 310-201-9150 or by email to shareholders@glancylaw.com.

On September 7, 2017, Equifax disclosed that the Company’s systems were hacked in a cybersecurity incident that may have affected about 143 million U.S. consumers. According to the Company, hackers accessed names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and driver’s license numbers as well as credit card numbers for about 209,000 consumers.

On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $19.49 per share, or 16%, to close at $123.23 per share on September 8, 2017, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the class period the Company issued materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company failed to maintain adequate measures to protect its data systems; (2) the Company failed to maintain adequate monitoring systems to detect security breaches; (3) the Company failed to maintain proper security systems, controls and monitoring systems in place; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
