Official source
The 2017 Equifax breach exposed personal information of approximately 147 million US consumers. A $700M settlement (combining FTC, CFPB, state AG and class action components) was reached in 2019. Affected consumers were eligible for free credit monitoring, cash for documented out-of-pocket losses, and alternative compensation. Some claim windows have closed; cash alternative payouts were reduced because of high claim volume.
