Tennessee’s attorney general says information was stolen from more than 3 million state residents when hackers infiltrated the credit reporting company Equifax.

Attorney General Herbert Slatery says Equifax should extend its deadline for free credit monitoring services from Nov. 21 until at least Jan. 31 because of the hack. He said those affected should be reimbursed customer fees for freezing Equifax credit reports and be reimbursed fees from other credit reporting agencies.

Slatery requests copies of notices Equifax is sending to people whose dispute-related documents were accessed or credit card numbers were exposed. He says Equifax should let his office know about any scams.
