The personal information of 143 million Americans might have been compromised in a massive cybersecurity breach at the credit-reporting service Equifax reported earlier this month, and in the intervening days, the company has been heavily criticized for its response to the crisis. The story, though, gets much worse: Equifax has reportedly been linking customers looking to determine if their information was compromised to a phony phishing website, Fortune reports. The real website can be found at equifaxsecurity2017.com, but a customer service agent who signed tweets as "Tim" linked at least eight people to securityequifax2017.com. Turns out Equifax have been linking to @thesquashSH phishing page since September 9th https://t.co/qFPgxEmu8n pic.twitter.com/3K0AQawYrk — Dl@RM@lD (@MadcapOcelot) September 20, 2017 The fake website was built by software developer Nick Sweeting, who wanted to prove how easy it was for scammers to replicate the Equifax website as a means of tricking people into handing over personal information, Fortune reports.
