COX DATA BREACH ! CUSTOMER SUPPORT IMPERSONATED
Date: December 12, 2021Author: PravinKarthik 0 Comments
Cox Communications has disclosed a data breach after a hacker was able to gain
access to the personal information of its customers by impersonating a support
agent.
Advertisements
The company’s customers recently began receiving letters in the mail informing
them that an unknown person or persons had impersonated a Cox support agent in
order access customer information.
The hacker likely employed social engineering as a means to gain access to Cox’s
internal systems. Cox had launched an internal investigation into the matter and
notified law enforcement of the incident.
> “After further investigation, we discover that the unknown person(s) may have
> viewed certain types of information that are maintained in your Cox customer
> account, including your name, address, telephone number, Cox account number,
> Cox.net email address, username, PIN code, account security question and
> answer, and/or the types of services that you receive from Cox.”
>
> Cox Letter to Customers
Cox advising customers to monitor their financial accounts. In order to prevent
any possible identity theft that may occur as a result of the breach, the
company is also offering a free one-year subscription to Experian Identity Works
to all affected customers.
Advertisements
We’ll likely hear more details regarding the data breach once Cox and law
enforcement complete their respective investigations but in the meantime, Cox
customers should change the password and security questions/answers for their
accounts, look out for any phishing emails pretending to come from the company
and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for their accounts.
