Cybercriminals gained access to FBCS’s systems, compromising sensitive information belonging to over 4 million individuals. The breach impacted several organizations, including Comcast Cable Communications and Truist Bank, which have subsequently notified their customers. The compromised data included names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state ID numbers, medical claims, provider and clinical information, and health insurance details. This incident highlights the vulnerability of third-party service providers and the importance of robust security measures to protect sensitive customer data.
