Posted On April 18, 2023 Consumer Privacy & Data Breaches
April 18 – There were rumors of a data breach at CommScope Holding Firm, Inc. on April 17, 2023, when the company experienced what it considers to be a ransomware attack. Employee names, phone numbers, emails, mailing addresses, financial information, and Social Security numbers have apparently been exposed; however, CommScope has not yet issued a data breach statement detailing this information. After CommScope has determined whether or not employee data was compromised, it will begin sending letters of notice to anyone affected.
The data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C. are actively investigating the CommScope Holding data breach. We are offering free consultations to anybody who has been informed of a data breach and is interested in learning more about their legal rights and whether or not they are entitled to financial compensation from the corporation.
CommScope Holding Company, Inc. is a supplier of network infrastructure with four divisions that focus on different aspects of the industry: the residential market, the broadband market, the institutional market, and the outdoor wireless market. The NASDAQ stock market allows investors to buy and sell shares of CommScope using the symbol “COMM.” Hickory, North Carolina-based CommScope Holding was founded in 1976 and today employs more than 30,000 people and has annual sales of over $9 billion.
On March 27, 2023, a CommScope spokesperson stated, per many news outlets, that the business had identified unauthorized access to a component of their IT infrastructure, which they later concluded to have been the consequence of a ransomware attack. To further understand the incident and its potential impact on the company and its employees, CommScope has begun an internal investigation with the help of cybersecurity specialists.
While the Vice Society has claimed credit for the assault and added CommScope to its list of victims, an investigation into the incident at CommScope is still underway. The Vice Society also provided a link to some of the compromised data, which includes personal details such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses, as well as financial data such as account numbers and Social Security numbers. CommScope has not confirmed these details as yet.
If CommScope Holding was the victim of a ransomware attack that resulted in the disclosure of sensitive employee information, the company would be obligated to send notification letters to all affected employees. These letters will explain the nature of the information exposed and the measures victims may take to protect themselves against fraud.
