BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Equifax provides more details to Congress on data breach

(Reuters) — Credit-monitoring firm Equifax Inc. said on Monday it has sent a letter to several U.S. Congressional committees providing additional details on data that was breached in a cyber security incident in September.

Equifax said that about 38,000 driver's licenses and 3,200 passports details had been uploaded to the portal that was hacked.

Equifax said in September that hackers had stolen personally identifiable information of U.S., British and Canadian consumers.

The company confirmed that information on about 146.6 million names, 146.6 million dates of birth, 145.5 million Social Security numbers, 99 million addresses and 209,000 payment card numbers and expiration dates was stolen in the cyber security incident.
