Maxar’s Meteoric Mishap: Employee Data Breach Sparks Identity Protection Panic
Maxar Space Systems discovered in October 2024 that a data breach had exposed employees’ personal information. A hacker with a Hong Kong-based IP address accessed the network for a week. Maxar offers free identity protection, urging vigilance. Bank accounts and birth dates remain safe, but Maxar employees can now brag about having an international hacker fan club.
Hot Take:
Looks like Maxar Space Systems found an out-of-this-world way to lose employee data! Who needs UFOs when hackers from Hong Kong are already beaming into your files? At least they didn’t abduct your bank account numbers or birthdays. Still, it’s a cosmic-sized oopsie!
Key Points:
- Maxar Space Systems experienced a data breach in October 2024.
- Hackers had access to the company’s network for a week before detection.
- Compromised information includes personal and employment data of employees.
