Equifax Lawsuit Launched
Along with my colleagues from the Solberg Stewart Miller law firm of Fargo, Jordan Lewis, P.A. filed a class action lawsuit against Equifax, one of the three largest credit reporting firms in the country. Equifax organizes and analyzes financial information on more than 820 million consumers and 91 businesses worldwide. The complaint alleges that Equifax didn’t maintain adequate safeguards, which allowed hackers to gain access to confidential consumer information such as names, Social Security numbers, addresses and, in some cases, drivers’ license numbers. This is considered perhaps the largest such breach in American history and as many as 400,000 North Dakota consumers could be affected.
