Third-party data breach exposes GE employees’ personal information
The State of Security
Past and present employees of General Electric (GE) are learning that their sensitive information has been exposed by a data breach at a third-party service provider.
Fortune 500 company GE says it was recently informed of a security breach at one of its partners, Canon Business Process Services.
According to GE, between approximately February 3 – 14, 2020, an unauthorized party managed to gain access to a Canon email account that contained sensitive information on current and former employees, as well as beneficiaries.
What the hackers managed to access was effectively a treasure trove of information which could be sold on underground forums to other criminals and fraudsters, or used to target individuals with convincing scam emails and phishing attacks.
