NY Governor, Andrew Cuomo, announces new regulations for credit reporting agencies. Referring to July’s Equifax breach as “a wake-up call,” Cuomo said that NY will hold the credit industry to the same scrutiny as banks and other financial industries who do business in the state. Credit reporting agencies will be required to register with the Dep’t of Financial Services—which will have the authority to sue “if a company fails to comply or engages in prohibited practices deemed unfair, deceptive or predatory.”
