TORONTO — Equifax says it has temporaril­y taken down one of its web pages amid reports another part of its website had been hacked. The news comes as Equifax Inc. continues to deal with the aftermath of a cyber breach that allowed the personal informatio­n of 145.5 million Americans, and 8,000 Canadians, to be accessed or stolen. Hackers reportedly altered Equifax’s credit report assistance page so that it would send users malicious software disguised as Adobe Flash. Equifax Canada says the company is aware of the situation identified on its U.S. parent company’s website.
