Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt has opened an investigation into the recent report that Equifax Inc., a credit reporting agency, was the target of a cyber-attack that affected approximately 143 million Americans. The breach, which took place from mid-May through July of this year, neglected to keep important personal identifying information safe and allowed hackers to access names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and even some driver’s license numbers. About 209,000 individuals throughout the country are estimated to have had their credit card numbers stolen.
