Xfinity, a Comcast-owned telecommunications business, disclosed a data breach that impacted nearly 36 million customers. Hackers exploited a vulnerability in software used by the company, leading to the theft of hashed passwords, usernames, email addresses, social security numbers, and secret question answers. The breach occurred two months prior to the disclosure, raising questions about the timing of the notification. The breach affected contact information, security questions, birthdates, and the last four digits of social security numbers. The breach is one of the largest in 2023 and has sparked legal action against Citrix, the third-party vendor involved. The breach has raised concerns about cybersecurity and data protection.
