The massive security breach at Equifax Inc. that affected 143 million Americans hit about 8 million New Yorkers, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said.

On Monday, he added that New Yorkers should be careful of possible hacking and phishing attempts by cybercriminals. Phishing emails could claim to be from Equifax but are attempts to get people's personal information, Schneiderman said. The breach lasted from mid-May through July, when hackers accessed names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some cases, driver’s license numbers, he said.
