Italian Mobile Operator Offers To Replace SIM Cards After Massive Data Breach
Ho Mobile, an Italian mobile operator, owned by Vodafone, has confirmed a massive data breach on Monday and is now taking the rare step of offering to replace the SIM cards of all affected customers. From a report: The breach is believed to have impacted roughly 2.5 million customers. It first came to light last month on December 28 when a security analyst spotted the telco's database being offered for sale on a dark web forum. While the company initially played down these initial reports, Ho confirmed the incident on Monday, in a message posted on its official website and via SMS messages sent to all impacted customers. Ho's statement confirms the security researcher's assessment that hackers broke into Ho's servers and stole details on Ho customers, including full names, telephone numbers, social security numbers, email addresses, dates and places of birth, nationality, and home addresses. While the telco said no financial data or call details were stolen in the intrusion, Ho admitted that hackers got their hands on details related to customers' SIM cards.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
