Sen. Elizabeth Warren is launching an investigation into the causes of Equifax Inc.’s massive data breach, along with a new bill that would give consumers more control over their credit data.
In a letter to Equifax EFX, -1.70%  , the Massachusetts Democrat said Friday the company “has failed to provide the necessary information describing exactly how this happened, and exactly how [its] security systems failed,” adding that initial customer service information “did nothing to clarify the situation and actually appeared to be efforts to hoodwink [consumers] into waiving important legal rights.”
