twitter. and so what we have found out today from twitter after they went to capitol hill and they had closed door meetings is that about 200 accounts have been linked to russian forces, if you will. and what they did to figure that out is actually they cross-referenced with facebook a couple weeks ago facebook announced they found 470 accounts that were putting out ads trying to sway the electorate. so, they did that and twitter found about 200 people or bots if, if you will, and they have since been removed. what you are seeing is a growing amount of scrutiny on capitol hill, the drum beat for more from these tech companies which are very tight lipped and they are very not interested in having more regulation, of course, on their products. >> well, twitter right now, the twitter executives, i should say, are the ones in the hot seat right now on the hill. for the fast few weeks it's been about facebook. what's next for them? >> it looks like facebook will be handing over 3,000 s,

to capitol hill. and then the senate has called for an open hearing from tech executives from google, twitter and facebook. so, they are going to be in the hot seat in a very public way very soon. the house side also planning to do the same thing. but what you see, though, is mark zuckerberg, the ceo of facebook, trying to get ahead of this thing. he says he's hired 250 people to help mitigate the impacts and we also know that he is instigating some new filters as well. it is a complicated issue dealing with a lot of free speech as well. >> it shows we have a lot to learn about these -- the whole world. we'll see what happens in the days to come. thank you so much jo ling kent out in l.a. >> all right. and watch for more on this developing story tonight and every night. nbc nightly news with lester holt is ahead at 7:00 right after news 4 at 6:00. now to another story that has moved a lot of people today. emmy winning actress julia louise-dreyfus has announced she has breast cancer. the star of veep on hbo announcehe

breach that affected 143 million people. the company has promised a new lifetime service for consumers. >> consumer reporter susan hogan is working for you with the details. >> reporter: well, as we reported, equifax's ceo retired earlier this week and in an editorial in the "wall street journal," the interim ceo's name rigo beris, apologized and said there was inadequate information for consumers after the company announced the breach. he admitted the website did not function as it should have. ferris says more call representatives will be added and the company will upgrade its website. and the biggest change of all, the company will launch a new service to allow consumers to lock and unlock their credit report for free for life. so, what is the difference between locking your credit and freezing your credit? well, a credit freeze offers more protection because it requires a pin and verification of your identity when you
