WASHINGTON (AP) — Seven members of the Senate Banking Committee are asking the Internal Revenue Service to rescind a $7.25 million contract with Equifax. The senators say the awarding of the contract shows a clear disregard for millions of Americans who had their personal information stolen. The contract came to light as Equifax's former chief executive made the rounds at a series of congressional hearings this week on a data breach that affected 145 million Americans. The IRS renewed a contract with Equifax to verify taxpayers' identities, but only until it could resolve a protest Equifax had lodged after the IRS went with another bidder.
