A cybersecurity breach at Houston-based VeriSource Services has revealed that data belonging to 4 million individuals was compromised, contradicting the previous estimate of around 112,000. The breach involved sensitive information including names, addresses, dates of birth, and social security numbers. VeriSource has been coordinating with its client companies and the FBI since the incident, which occurred in February 2024. Although there is no evidence of misuse of the data to date, the company continues to notify those affected and investigate the nature of the attack, which remains unspecified.
Houston-based VeriSource Services revealed that a recent cyber breach impacted 4 million individuals, significantly more than the earlier estimate of 112,000.
VeriSource highlighted in its filing to the Maine Attorney General that while names, addresses, dates of birth, gender, and social security numbers may have been compromised, not all data points are uniform across individuals.
