Equifax executives' share deals investigated
 

Did executives sit on the news and flog their shares?

In an unusual move the US finance watchdog the Securities and Exchange Commission have teamed up to investigate the Equifax hack.

The U.S. Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into whether top officials at Equifax Inc. violated insider trading laws when they sold stock before the company disclosed that it had been hacked.

US prosecutors in Atlanta, who the people said are looking into the share sales, said in a statement they are examining the breach and theft of people's personal information in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
