Richard Smith, the former Equifax chief executive who led the company during its massive breach and botched response, is getting a nearly $1 million raise for his work last year, the company said Monday.

Smith, who resigned in September, will bring home $15.7 million in total compensation for 2017 — up 4.9 percent from the previous year, according to the credit bureau’s annual report.

Smith was the top executive when hackers breached Equifax’s outdated security and stole the personal data of about 150 million Americans, one of the worst data breaches in history.

Much of the increase was due to a new $1.4 million stock options award, as well as a pension fund that more than doubled to $6.5 million, according to the report.
