CBS News reports: The Madison, New Jersey-based company says âoean unauthorized third partyâ on Nov. 26 gained access to customer information including names, dates of birth, lab results and in some instances, telephone numbers. The stolen data did not include Social Security numbers, credit card accounts, insurance details or any other financial information. Quest said Monday it is working with a cybersecurity firm and law enforcement to investigate the breach, while taking steps to prevent similar incidents from recurring. If you think you're affected by this hack, you can call (888) 320-9970.
