CUNA has made good on its promise to go after Equifax over the credit-rating bureau’s recent data breach. 

On Wednesday, the credit union industry trade association filed a class-action lawsuit in a Georgia District Court against Equifax, alleging that financial institutions have suffered and will continue to suffer financial losses and increased data security risks as a result of the breach. According to the complaint, Army Aviation Center Federal Credit Union and Greater Cincinnati Credit Union joined CUNA as plaintiffs in the suit.
