National Amusements, the movie theater chain and corporate parent of Paramount and CBS media, has confirmed that it suffered a data breach in which hackers were able to steal the personal information of tens of thousands of people.
TechCrunch he says:
The private media group said in a legally required filing with the Maine attorney general that hackers stole the personal information of 82.128 people during a data breach that occurred in December of 2022.
Details of the December 2022 breach only came to light a year later (necessarily) when the company began notifying those affected just last week.
According to the notice from the Maine attorney general, the company discovered the breach months later, in August 2023, but did not say specifically what personal information the hackers were able to obtain.
The data breach notification filed with Maine prosecutors said the hackers also gained access to financial information such as bank account numbers or credit card numbers along with associated security codes, passwords and other private information.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
