The Equifax data breach (2017) is widely considered one of the most significant financial data breaches in history.
Why was it so impactful?
Massive Scale – It affected 147 million people, nearly half of the U.S. population.
Highly Sensitive Information Exposed – Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and even some driver’s license details were compromised. Unlike credit card details, this information cannot be easily changed.
Severe Financial & Legal Repercussions – Equifax agreed to a $700 million settlement, including compensation for victims.
Erosion of Public Trust – The breach exposed flaws in how credit bureaus handle personal data, making consumers more skeptical of financial institutions.
Long-Term Risks – Since Social Security numbers were exposed, victims remain at risk of identity theft for years, if not decades.
While Equifax stands out, other major breaches, like Capital One (2019) and JP Morgan Chase (2014), also had a significant impact.
