Wisconsin-based credit union is seeking class-action status for a lawsuit against credit bureau Equifax. Summit Credit Union filed the lawsuit on Sept. 11 in federal court in Atlanta, home to Equifax’s headquarters. The credit union alleges that the leak of payment card details, as well as sensitive personal information, means it and other institutions will have to shoulder the cost of replacing at-risk payment cards and covering the costs of fraud relating to identity theft committed using the stolen data. The FBI has launched a criminal investigation into the hack itself, while Equifax is facing investigations by at least 40 state attorneys general.”]
