IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said that he didn’t expect the risk of fraud to go up this tax-filing season despite the world-beating Equifax breach of 145,000,000 Americans’ sensitive personal and financial data because a “significant” number of Equifax’s breaches had already been exposed by earlier breaches of other databases.

The IRS breached 101,000 Americans’ logins and passwords in February 2016.
