“Xfinity Customers’ Data Stolen in Massive Cyberattack: Comcast Statement”
Comcast has confirmed that hackers exploiting a critical-rated security vulnerability accessed the sensitive information of almost 36 million Xfinity customers.
Hackers have used the CitrixBleed vulnerability to hack into big-name victims, including aerospace giant Boeing, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and international law firm Allen & Overy.
The notice doesn’t say how many Xfinity customers have been impacted, and Comcast spokesperson Joel Shadle declined to say when asked by TechCrunch.
In a filing with Maine’s attorney general, Comcast confirmed that almost 35.8 million customers are affected by the breach.
Comcast’s latest earnings report shows the company has over 32 million broadband customers, suggesting this breach has impacted most, if not all Xfinity customers.
