The company is also offering seven years of free services to help consumers remedy the effects of fraud and identity theft. Equifax is the latest - and biggest - in a string of high-profile customer data breaches in recent years, including 110 million Target shoppers and 56 million payment cards at Home Depot. For many customers, data breaches have resulted in somewhat routine replacements of their credit cards or notifications by companies to change their passwords. The 2017 Equifax breach included Social Security numbers, credit card details and other sensitive data. On Monday, the Federal Trade Commission announced that Equifax will pay up to $700 million to settle with state and federal regulators over allegations that the company failed to take reasonable cybersecurity steps that might have prevented the breach. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro called it "the largest data breach settlement in U.S. history."
