In a letter to Equifax, the Tennessee Attorney General’s Office revealed that more than 3 million residents had personal information stolen through the company’s data breach, The Tennessean reports. In a news release, Attorney General Herbert Slatery called the breach “distressing” and said that while it is important for consumers to monitor their financial accounts, Equifax must “actively assist” consumers in doing so. He also advised Equifax to extend the free credit freezes past the current Nov. 21 deadline.
