"Equifax knew and should have known that failure to maintain adequate technological safeguards would eventually result in a massive data breach," the document alleges. "Equifax could have and should have substantially increased the amount of money it spent to protect against cyber-attacks but chose not to."
The lawsuit seeks compensation of up to $70 billion for all consumers affected as well as a court order requiring the company to preserve all internal records related to the attack. It was filed on behalf of plaintiffs Mary McHill and Brook Reinhard in a federal court in Portland, Oregon.
The Securities and Exchange Commission also announced Friday that it is opening an investigation into the breach.
Equifax said in a statement on Thursday that the hack took place between mid-May and July 29 when the company discovered it and shut it down. The company then hired a cybersecurity firm to investigate and contacted law enforcement before disclosing it to the public this week.
Days after the attack was identified, three Equifax execs unloaded nearly $2 million in company stock. A company spokesperson denied that the execs had any knowledge of the breach at the time.
The lawyers behind the suit said they are hoping it will be a "teachable moment" for better data security.
"Ms. McHill and Mr. Reinhard hope Equifax will use this massive data breach, and their subsequent lawsuit, as a teachable moment to finally adopt adequate safeguards to protect against this type of cyberattack in the future," the document says.
