You can easily find news stories about what happened.

Below is a link to an article on the matter from someone at the Federal Trade Commission

This breach was well publicized. What caused me to pause was that Equifax suggested you could visit their website to determine if you were one of the 143 million names breached. Well if these name are already on their website Equifax already knows because they complied the list and since they know why are they not moving to protect the names on the list they created?
Geezzz
