Comcast says 230,000 customers affected by debt collection data breach

Comcast says 230,000 customers affected by debt collection data breach. The bad actors obtained names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, account numbers and more.

Comcast is warning that hackers stole the personal data of more than 230,000 customers during a ransomware attack on a third-party debt collector, according to a court filing. The attack occurred back in February, but Comcast claims that FBCS initially said that the incident didn’t involve any customer data. The company says more than four million people were impacted and that the cybercriminals accessed medical claims and health insurance information, in addition to standard identification data.
