Equifax says three company executives who sold stock just days after the company discovered a major security breach were not aware of the hack at the time.
The company disclosed yesterday a cyberattack that ran from mid-May to July exposed sensitive information of about 143-million Americans -- and that it had detected the hack on July 29th.
On August 1st and 2nd, Equifax Chief Financial Officer John Gamble and two other executives, Rodolfo Ploder and Joseph Loughran, sold a combined 1.8-million dollars in stock.
The company also reports an unspecified number of Canadians and British people were hit by the hack as well. The company says limited information was taken.
