More than a third of the U.S. population could be affected by a data breach of Equifax.

In our news wrap Thursday, more than a third of the U.S. population could be affected by a data breach of the credit monitoring firm Equifax. The company says intruders gained access to customer information, including social security numbers and addresses. Also, President Trump issued a new warning to North Korea to stop testing nuclear weapons, claiming U.S. military action is still an option.
