Comcast Cable Discloses Breach of Private Info on More Than 230,000 Customers


Comcast said personal information on 237,703 customers -- including Social Security numbers -- was accessed by an 'unauthorized third party.'

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 also said that in addition to enrolling in identify-theft protection services it encourages customers “to remain vigilant for incidents of fraud or identity theft by reviewing your account statements and free credit reports for any unauthorized activity.”
