Regulators in eight states including California, Texas and New York, reached a consent order with the company requiring it to improve its cybersecur­ity risk. As part of the agreement, the company did not admit wrongdoing.

“Equifax and other big credit reporting agencies keep profiting off a business model that rewards their failure to protect personal informatio­n,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., one of the lawmakers who requested the GAO report. She blamed the Trump administra­tion and Republican­s in Congress, and has proposed legislatio­n aimed at preventing similar breaches.
