Equifax has been hit with another prospective class action lawsuit—this time in Connecticut—by a woman who claims the company's massive data breach is an invasion of privacy that could lead to identity theft.
West Haven resident Natalie Quagliani filed the suit, one of at least 23 class actions filed against the credit-reporting giant nationwide, in U.S. District Court in Connecticut Tuesday. Court records show that the cyberattack, which occurred from May to late July, provided unauthorized access to personal information, including Social Security numbers, for nearly 44 percent of the population, or about 143 million people.
The prospective class action is for Connecticut residents only.
