Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor U.S. cable giant Comcast said private information on 237,703 customers — including Social Security numbers — was accessed by an “unauthorized third party” earlier this year.
Comcast disclosed the security breach in a filing with the Maine attorney general’s office on Oct. 3, as reported earlier by tech news site Bleeping Computer.
The incident, which occurred in February 2024, involved unauthorized access of systems operated by Financial Business and Consumer Solutions, a third-party service provider previously used by Comcast.
Comcast, in a notice to customers also submitted to the Maine AG’s office, said, the security incident “occurred entirely at FBCS and not at Xfinity or on Comcast systems.” FBCS’s investigation discovered that files downloaded by the hacker or hackers included Comcast customers’ name, address, Social Security number, date of birth, and Comcast account number and ID numbers used internally at FBCS, according to Comcast’s notice.
