WASHINGTON, DC - Energy and Commerce Committee leaders today sent a letter to Equifax Interim CEO Paulino do Rego Barros, Jr., and Equifax Chairman Mark Feidler to follow up on the testimony provided by former CEO Richard Smith when he testified before the Digital Commerce and Consumer Protection Subcommittee last month.
In the letter, Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR), full committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone Jr., (D-NJ), #SubDCCP Chairman Bob Latta (R-OH), and #SubDCCP Ranking Member Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) continue to push for answers for the 145.5 million Americans who had their information compromised after the Equifax data breach.
“Because Mr. Smith can no longer speak for Equifax’s plans going forward and due to subsequent revelations that have come to our attention, we have additional questions about the data breach, the post-breach response, and consumer protection remediation offered by Equifax," Walden, Pallone, Latta, and Schakowsky wrote.
