In this week's collection of cyber breach news stories from across the country, we look the Capitol One breach, as well as cyberattacks on a museum in San Francisco, a school district in Nevada and a radio station in Florida. We also provide an update on the 2017 Equifax security incident, which recently resulted in the biggest data breach fine of all time.
