Four members of China’s People Liberation Army are charged with the massive May 2017 Equifax breach of information-broker Equifax. Hackers used a known vulnerability in the Apache Struts Web framework to compromise Equifax’s network and steal the names, addresses, birthdates, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive information on 145 million US adults from the company’s database. The breach has become the focus of multiple lawsuits, reportedly led to significant identity fraud, and will cost Equifax at least $1.4 billion in settlement and future security expenditures.”]
