IMPORTANT INVESTOR ALERT: Khang & Khang LLP Announces Securities Class Action Lawsuit against Equifax Inc. and Encourages Investors with Losses to Contact the Firm

Khang & Khang LLP (the "Firm") announces the filing of a securities class action lawsuit against Equifax Inc. ("Equifax" or the "Company") EFX. Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares between February 25, 2016 and September 7, 2017, inclusive (the "Class Period"), are encouraged to contact the Firm in advance of the November 13, 2017 lead plaintiff motion deadline.

If you purchased Equifax shares during the Class Period, please contact Joon M. Khang, Esquire, of Khang & Khang LLP, 4000 Barranca Parkway, Suite 250, Irvine, CA 92604, by telephone: (949) 419-3834, or by e-mail at joon@khanglaw.com.

There has been no class certification in this case yet. Until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. You may choose to take no action and remain a passive class member as well.

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Equifax issued materially false and/or misleading statements, and/or failed to disclose, that the Company failed to maintain proper security systems, controls and monitoring systems in place to protect its data systems and detect security breaches. On September 7, 2017, Equifax announced that its systems were hacked in a cybersecurity incident that may have affected about 143 million U.S. consumers. According to the Company, hackers accessed names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and driver's license numbers. Hackers also accessed credit card numbers for about 209,000 consumers. When this news was announced, the Company's stock price declined materially, which caused investors harm according to the Complaint.

If you wish to learn more about this lawsuit, or if you have any questions concerning this notice or your rights, please contact Joon M. Khang, Esquire, a prominent litigator for almost two decades, by telephone: (949) 419-3834, or via e-mail at joon@khanglaw.com.
