Federal prosecutors are investigating stock sales by three Equifax executives in early August, just days after the company discovered a data breach affecting the personal information of 143 million people.
The criminal investigation, looking at whether the executives had violated insider trading laws, was reported by Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the investigation. A spokesperson for Equifax wasn’t immediately available.
Equifax says on its website that it continues to work closely with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in its investigation.
