MoneyGram has confirmed it did lose sensitive customer data in the recent cyberattack against its business.
In a data breach notification letter sent to affected customers and published on the company’s website, hackers were able to access MoneyGram’s networks for two days, between September 20 and September 22.
During that time, they exfiltrated people’s names, phone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses, dates of birth, Social Security Numbers, copies of government-issued documents (for example, driver’s licenses), miscellaneous identification documents (utility bills, and such), bank account numbers, MoneyGram Plus Rewards numbers, transaction information (dates, amounts, and more), and criminal investigation information (such as fraud).
