I have two data breaches to report on today. Let’s start with Trello. A data breach there has the personal details of more than 15 million users put up for sale on the dark web.
This has been confirmed by haveibeenpwned.com. Meaning that’s not good. I strongly suggest that you check your email addresses in the haveibeenpwned.com database to see if you’re affected.
Meanwhile, Bleeping Computer is reporting that more than 16 million loanDepot customers are affected by a data breach:
Mortgage lender loanDepot says that approximately 16.6 million people had their personal information stolen in a ransomware attack disclosed earlier this month.
Following a January 6 attack that forced it to shut down some of its systems to contain the breach, the company told customers that recurring automatic payments would still be processed, with payment history delays.
And:
Given that loanDepot stores sensitive customer financial and bank account information, those affected by this breach should know they might be the target of phishing attacks and identity theft attempts.
However, loanDepot has yet to share what type of customer personal information was accessed and stolen from its systems.
This one is really bad. But in both cases, I’d be changing my password to a strong and unique password. On top of that, you can fully expect that phishing attacks and other scams will be inbound now that this information is out there.
