Experian South Africa announced that it’s in the process of investigating a security incident involving a fraudulent data inquiry.
On August 19, the South African branch of the consumer credit reporting agency said in a web statement that a South African individual purporting to represent a legitimate client had fraudulently requested official Experian services involving the release of information.
The individual had requested this information for the purpose of creating leads for insurance and credit-related services, as Experian South Africa determined.
