Here's everything you need to know about the Equifax data breach

NEW YORK —A huge security breach at credit reporting company Equifax has exposed sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers and addresses, of up to 143 million Americans.

Unlike other data breaches, those affected by the breach may not even know they're customers of the company.

Equifax is one of three nationwide credit-reporting agencies that track and rate the financial history of consumers. The company gets its data from credit card companies, banks, retailers and lenders -- sometimes without you knowing.

The data breach is among the worst ever because of the amount of people affected and the sensitive type of information exposed.

How many people were affected?

    Two Sets of Laws.
    They don't even need a lawyer.
    But if YOU didn't report $800 on your taxes, or sold some stock and didn't declare the gains, well, you know....
    Two Sets of Laws protect a select group. If you have to ask "what are the qualifications?", I can assure you, you are not in that group.
    Entropy continues.
    The crowd cheers on.

    I hope the hackers collapse the whole rigged system with what they have obtained. Reset everyone to zero.
