6:43 pm
congresswoman john schakowsky introduced a bill that would notify consumingers sooner and protect them longer after a breech. what happened to all those proposals? >> i would say mainly the reason is that corporations, credit reporting agencies are uninterested, well, let me put it another way, they oppose the idea of having more regulation that would protect the data. >> reporter: at least one republican senator john thune told us if congress is going the make fix, they shouldn't rush into something just for the sake of appearances. they should make sure those fixes are going to work. meanwhile, equifax told us it is making data security improvements and accountability measures. jeff? >> glor: anna werner in washington, d.c., an narcotic thank you. now to some other stories we're following in the evening news feed. president trump's one-time chief strategist is out of a job again. steve bannon stepped down today as executive chairman of breitbart news. bannon h
