From PC Mag: Last month’s cyberattack on wire transfer service MoneyGram involved hackers stealing sensitive customer data, including Social Security numbers and bank account numbers.
On Monday, the Texas-based company posted a data breach notice with details on the scale of the cyberattack, which forced MoneyGram to take its website and app offline for several days.
In bad news for users, hackers stole personal information for certain consumers between Sept. 20-22, including names, phone numbers, email and mailing addresses, along with dates of birth.
A more limited number of users also had their Social Security numbers, copies of their government-issued IDs, bank account details, and transaction data, such as the date and money amount, stolen as well. In some cases, criminal investigation information aimed at certain customers was also looted.
