Let’s start with the second paragraph of this article.
Customer personally identifiable information (PII) exposed in the security breach includes the affected individuals’ names, addresses, social security numbers, dates of birth, and financial information, including account and credit card numbers, according to details shared with the Attorney General of Texas.
The first paragraph says:
Bank of America is warning customers of a data breach exposing their personal information after one of its service providers was hacked last year.
Bank of America did not say anything about how many people were affected, but the third party provider did. What’s up with that?
While Bank of America has yet to disclose how many customers were impacted by the data breach, Infosys McCamish Systems (IMS), the vendor that had its systems compromised, revealed in a recent filing with the Attorney General of Maine that 57,028 had their data exposed in the incident.
Bank of America serves at least 69 million people.
Bank of America serves approximately 69 million clients at over 3,800 retail financial centers and through approximately 15,000 ATMs in the United States, its territories, and more than 35 countries. /blockquote>
According to one of the headings, Lockbit took responsibility for the attack.
