DUBLIN, Calif.—The number of people impacted by Patelco Credit Union’s data breach has grown to more than one million.
As CUToday.info reported in late August, the number topped 700,000.
Member data from the ransomware attack on Patelco Credit Union became available for sale online after the hackers said they were unable to reach an agreement with the credit union, CUToday.info previously reported.
SecurityWeek reported that Patelco recently updated its filing with the Maine Attorney General’s Office to say that 1,009,472 people were affected.
Patelco told the impacted individuals that names, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers, and email addresses were part of the stolen data, although the compromised information differs by individual, SecurityWeek said.
The credit union is providing the victims with two years of free credit monitoring and identity protection services and recommendations on how to protect their personal information.
While Patelco did not say which ransomware group was responsible for the attack, the RansomHub gang added the CU to its Tor-based leak site in mid-August, SecurityWeek reported.
