Data Breaches

[neurosis]

Today we recieved a letter stating 'LoanCare, our Mortgage Loan Servicers Subservicer' (too many hands in the cookie jar IMO) had a data breach and they now may have our name, address, SSN, and loan number. 

I received a letter about a month ago from Fred Hutch saying that there was a breach and that names, addresses, last four ssn digits, phone numbers, some medical records had been compromised. So far they haven't done squat about it.

You'd think these guys would at least offer free credit monitoring.

It should be illegal for any company to ask for your checking account information as payment, even voluntarily. I never give my bank account information as a payment option but between Fred Hutch and Xfinity, I'm sure that my CC has been compromised.

They gave us 24months free credit monitoring

I am still waiting for one of these groups to actually go through and wipe out people's bills....


Hey, a guy can hope, right?

Fred Hutch and Xfinity pretty much gave everyone some of these.

I got the same letter yesterday from LoanCare. God knows where the data will end up.

best we can do is get with the credit reporting agencies to put a credit lock on your identity.

 we gotta get a temporary token technology as a proxy for your personal info. It;s fact that computer networks are hopelessly leaky.

My credit has been locked for the last 8 years. I rarely buy anything on credit and when I do, I usually unlock it temporarily and then re-lock it shortly after.

I'm not sure how helpful it is

You can also report it lost to shuffle the number in the event your card # was compromised

I'll be asking for a new card on Friday.

Last time I did that they sent me the same number, just different expiration date....

has confirmed the cyber-incident it suffered in late December 2023 was indeed a ransomware attack.

When you use your credit card go through Google Pay or Apple Pay on your phone. The credit card numbers don't get used.

I remember about 10 or 12 years ago at work when the Gov told us that all of our info on your SF-86 had been compromised.

I swear, just leave it up to .Gov to screw anything up.  They too gave us like 2 years of credit monitoring
