EQUIFAX CUSTOMER ALERT: PHISHING ATTEMPTS DETECTED ON EQUIFAX CUSTOMERS

Equifax has verified that phishing attempts have been made on some customers using one of our online delivery systems. "Phishing" or "spoofing" is an e-mail threat where fraudulent e-mails appear from a well-known company and ask you to provide, update or confirm certain confidential information.

In this instance, some Equifax customers have reported receiving e-mails appearing to be from Equifax requesting that they provide confidential information such as User ID and Password.

Equifax would never send an email asking for this information. These e-mails have not been sent from Equifax and are not legitimate. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THEM.

Simply clicking the link in a spoofed e-mail can be dangerous, even if you do not provide the information requested. When in doubt if a message is authentic or not, always contact Equifax to confirm.

If you believe you have responded to a phishing attempt concerning your Equifax account, email us at Security.DataAdministration@equifax.com.

If you have not responded, please delete the message immediately.
