Texas Data Breach Double Whammy: Landmark’s Security Snafu Exposes 1.6 Million!
Landmark Admin’s data breach saga has taken a comedic twist, as the Texas IT firm reveals twice the number of victims than initially reported, leaving 1,613,773 individuals asking, “Who knew sharing data could be so hazardous?” While credit cards were spared, the stolen data buffet is a phisher’s dream come true!
Hot Take:
Well, it looks like Landmark Admin has taken the phrase “sharing is caring” a bit too literally by doubling down on the number of folks whose data they accidentally shared with the world. I guess they thought, “Why stop at 800,000 when you can traumatize over 1.6 million?” Clearly, when it comes to data breaches, go big or go home!
Key Points:
- Landmark Admin revealed a major data breach affecting 1,613,773 people, more than twice the earlier disclosed figure.
- The breach included personal information like Social Security and driver’s license numbers, but no credit card details.
- Landmark experienced two separate security incidents, one leading to a class-action lawsuit.
- They are offering affected individuals 12 months of credit monitoring and up to $1 million in insurance reimbursement.
