Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Equifax announced Tuesday that CEO Rick Smith will retire, just days after the credit reporting agency reported a massive data breach that impacts more than 140 million Americans.
The Atlanta-based company said Smith is retiring effective immediately -- and that board member Mark Feidler will take over as executive chairman. Paulino de Rego Barros Jr., the company's Asia Pacific region president, will serve as interim CEO.
