I wonder if Equifax will face any international action, for example here in the UK we have Data Protection laws that can be used to fine companies for such breaches, although it's not entirely clear if British customer data has been affected. Still, Equifax are probably quick to tell everyone if you've missed one payment on your credit card, but took a few months to say they've been hacked? Doesn't seem fair
