Deadline to file for Equifax data breach restitution December 16

Time is running out for Hoosiers to file a claim for their share of a restitution payment related to the 2017 Equifax data breach.

 

Hoosiers have until Wednesday, Dec. 16 to visit IndianaEquifaxClaims.com and file a claim for a payment.

 

Nearly four million Hoosiers are eligible for a restitution payment, and most have not yet filed a claim, according to Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill.

 

“As a result of our settlement with Equifax following its data breach, we have millions of dollars to distribute to eligible Hoosiers who visit IndianaEquifaxClaims.com and successfully file a claim,” Attorney General Hill said. “But if you want the money you are rightfully owed, you have to act by Dec. 16. Visit IndianaEquifaxClaims.com and file a claim today!”

 

The Equifax data breach occurred from May 2017 to July 2017 and exposed the personal information of 147 million Americans. Information compromised during the data breach included Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, driver's license numbers, and credit card details.

 

Attorney General Hill sued Equifax following the data breach and the company agreed to pay the state of Indiana $19.5 million.
