They have got to be kidding.

Equifax announced on Thursday that it was investigating another hack on its website — barely a month after the company admitted that hackers had stolen the private data of more than 145.5 million people.

An Equifax site redirected visitors to a fake Adobe Flash download that could potentially infect customers with malware, according to Ars Technica.

“We are aware of the situation identified on the equifax.com website in the credit report assistance link,” spokesman Wyatt Jeffries said in a statement.

“Our IT and Security teams are looking into this matter, and out of an abundance of caution have temporarily taken this page offline. When it becomes available or we have more information to share, we will.”

The news sent the company’s stock down 1.1 percent, to $109.28.

Last month, the credit bureau said that hackers had made off with the Social Security numbers, addresses, driver’s license numbers and more in what is one of the most severe breaches in history.

The company hasn’t done any favors for itself since announcing the hack. First, it forced customers to agree to give up their right to sue the company. Then it tweeted out the wrong link to a fake site to help customers.

The breach has led to the resignation of the CEO and two top executives, as well as numerous federal, state investigations and class-action lawsuits.

“This new announcement from Equifax is just Reason No. 10,000 why consumers should assume their personal information is already out there and act accordingly,” Matt Schultz, senior analyst at creditcards.com.

“It’s a scary thing to wrap your brain around, but the truth is that you’re better off assuming the worst and taking steps to protect yourself.”

The Atlanta-based company, which has faced seething criticism from consumers, regulators and lawmakers over its handling of the earlier breach, said it would provide more information as it becomes available.

Equifax disclosed on Sept. 7 that its systems had been breached between mid-May and late July. In the fallout, the company has parted ways with its chief executive, chief information officer and chief security officer.

The breach has prompted investigations by multiple federal and state agencies, including a criminal probe by the US Department of Justice.
