SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Attorney Advertising. Keller Rohrback L.L.P., a leading consumer data breach class action law firm, is investigating claims related to the massive breach of sensitive personal information by credit reporting agency Equifax.
The breach, which reportedly exposed the names, birth dates, addresses, Social Security numbers, and other personally identifying information of 143 million Americans, is already being called the worst consumer data breach in history.
“This data breach gives to criminals the essential building blocks for identity theft, including information that has no shelf life and that people can’t change like they can a credit card number,” said Keller Rohrback L.L.P. partner Cari Campen Laufenberg. “It appears that Equifax did not do nearly enough to protect people’s private information, and it made the problem worse by waiting weeks before telling the public about the breach.”
Equifax’s response to the breach has been troubling, including the use of a reportedly insecure website and issuing terms of service that state victims are required to waive their right to sue in order to sign up for identity protection.
If you are concerned that your personal information was breached and would like to know more about your rights, please contact attorney Cari Campen Laufenberg at (888) 690-0928 or via email at databreach@kellerrohrback.com.
