Century Support Services Data Breach: 160,000 Identities Compromised in Cyber Fiasco
Century Support Services, a debt settlement company, revealed a data breach affecting over 160,000 individuals. Personal details like Social Security numbers and financial information were compromised. The company offers 12 months of free identity theft protection, because nothing says “sorry we lost your data” like a year of free monitoring.
Hot Take:
When it comes to safeguarding personal data, it seems Century Support Services might need a lesson in “next level” security. Their data breach exposed a treasure trove of personal information — talk about a company that’s generous with sharing! Maybe next time, they’ll opt for a “support” system that doesn’t leave them needing their own rescue plan.

- Over 160,000 individuals were impacted by the breach.
