Equifax says 2.5 million more U.S. consumers’ personal details were exposed than initially thought. The data breach victim tally stands at 145.5m, according to FireEye’s Mandiant incident response group. Newly identified victims won’t be able to find out that they were affected by the breach for up to five more days. Equifax has said it was breached on March 10 by hackers who exploited a security flaw in its open source Apache Struts application framework. Ex-CEO Richard Smith, who “retired” last week, is scheduled to testify this week.”]
