Any Freepers get a notice from "Cencora?"

[JimRed]

Your first stop is Google to see if it is true.

And we'd believe anything from Google, because???

No, Cencora was legitimately breached. They’re one of the largest pharma companies in the country. This is standard for their SEC 8-K filing.

Interesting that the Experian security flaw could be used if a person already had the information to steal their identity.

The idea was simple - if you had the victim’s name, address, birthday and Social Security number (all of which might be obtained from a previous incident), you could go to one of the websites offering free credit reports, and submit the data to request one. At that point, the website would redirect you to the Experian website where you’d be required to submit more personally identifiable information, such as questions about previous addresses of living and such.

If a thief already had an individual's personal data why would they want to hack Experian to obtain a credit report?   To see if they hadn't been caught yet?   To validate the data you are about to sell or purchase on the dark web?   I don't know about that.

I have gotten that sort of letter several times, in connection with several “data breaches”.

I always just ignore them.

[Spacetrucker]

Agreed. There are a very few select people on here that I trust, and even they don’t know it.

Thank you.

I got a data breach letter from AT&T too. I closed my account with them 8 years ago. Why are they hanging on to my data for so long? So it can get stolen? Wasn’t Experian hacked a few years ago too?

[moovova]

We got that letter. Just ignored it.
