Equifax

A 27 year-old Missoula man is in the Missoula County Jail after allegedly strangling his wife. Derek Pyette has been charged with felony strangulation.

The Montana Department of Justice's Office of Consumer Protection says a recent data breach of Equifax, one of the financial industry's three top credit reporting agencies, has put the personal information of over 143,000 million Americans, and 368,000 Montanans at risk.
