Smith's departure follows a major cybersecurity failure. Earlier this month, the company said it had been hacked, meaning that the private information of some 143 million Americans had been compromised ― including names, addresses and Social Security numbers, in many cases.
The company's chief security and chief technology officers announced their retirements earlier this month.
Equifax did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
