Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt says the Equifax breach has affected approximately 1.2 million Nevada residents.  His advice, exercise caution if you believe you are being notified by Equifax about this breach. Communications received by email may be fraudulent. Nevadans are encouraged to find out if they have been impacted by this breach by visiting equifaxsecurity2017.com. To ensure you are visiting the correct website and not one of several illegitimate websites circulated to capitalize on the breach, you may also wish to visit Equifax’s main website at equifax.com to access the breach list. Some consumers have expressed concern that, by signing up for Equifax’s free credit monitoring they’re giving up their right to sue by agreeing to an arbitration clause. Equifax recently clarified that it will not be requiring customers to agree to these terms.
