Petco Data Breach
About the Investigation:
If so, your sensitive personal identifiable information may have been stolen!
Petco, the pet retail chain, recently disclosed that certain private files in their computer network had accidentally become available online. Petco claims that they immediately blocked access to the data when they were made aware of the exposure. The data compromised during the breach is said to include names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, bank account numbers and more.
Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds.
