The credit report provider Equifax has been accused of a fresh data security breach, this time affecting 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.”We learned of a potential vulnerability in an internal portal in Argentina whoch was not in any way connected to the cyber-security event that occurred in the United States last week,” an Equifax spokeswoman told the BBC.
