It’s been about six months since Equifax first announced it was hit by a major cyberattack that exposed sensitive information of more than 143 million people.

Equifax announced Thursday that an additional 2.4 million people had information stolen. That brings the total number impacted by last year’s massive data breach to 147.9 million.

Meanwhile the number of lawsuits from banks and consumers are piling up.
