The credit report provider Equifax has been accused of a fresh data security breach. This time it happened to its Argentine operations.
Cyber-crime blogger Brian Krebs said that an online employee tool used in the country could be accessed by typing “admin” as both a login and password.
He added that this gave access to records that included thousands of customers’ national identity numbers.
Last week, the firm revealed a separate attack affecting millions in the US.
After being notified of the latest breach, Equifax temporarily shut the affected website.
