In response to a News request, the organization said Susan Mauldin is leaving as chief security officer and Dave Webb is leaving as chief information officer.

Last week, the credit monitoring firm announced that a security breach may become exposed the personal data of up to 143 million Americans. The vulnerable information comprises names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and some driver’s license numbers.
Equifax is presently under examination by the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission. The state lawyer general of Massachusetts has said she expects to sue the company. Class action suits are also pouring in.
Representative Jeb Hensarling, a Republican from Texas and chair of the House Financial Services Committee, has said education for a congressional conference on the hack are underway as well.
The company said Friday that its internal research is “still ongoing,” and that the company “remains to work closely with the FBI in its investigation.”
The breach happened between mid-May and July, according to Equifax. The organization said it discovered the hack on July 29, but only gained that fact public last week.
Equifax’s subsequent response has come under fire.
Initially, the organization required those who signed up for its credit monitoring to give up any of their rights to sue. And the firm has been heavy to keep those affected in Britain and Canada in the loop.
