The records indicate the trades weren't made as part of a pre-arranged plan.
An Equifax spokesperson claimed the execs weren't aware of the breach at the time.
"The three executives who sold a small percentage of their Equifax shares on Tuesday, Aug. 1, and Wednesday, August 2, had no knowledge that an intrusion had occurred at the time they sold their shares," the spokesperson said in a statement.
Equifax's shares were down around 13 percent in after-hours trading as of Thursday evening.
The company said the breach occurred over the course of several weeks between mid-May and its discovery at the end of July. Upon the discovery, Equifax said it immediately shut down the hack and contracted a "leading, independent cybersecurity firm" to determine the scope of the damage. It's also working with law enforcement, and the investigation is ongoing, according to the announcement.
