Money transfer giant MoneyGram said that personal data of some customers was stolen during the last month’s cyberattack.
At the end of September, MoneyGram reported a security incident following the widespread system outages that disrupted its services. The giant took the affected systems offline and launched an investigation.
Now, the company published an update, admitting that “an unauthorized third party accessed and acquired personal information of certain consumers between September 20 and 22, 2024.”
MoneyGram said that the impacted data included names, contact information (such as phone numbers, email and postal addresses), dates of birth, national identification numbers, a limited number of Social Security numbers, copies of government-issued identification documents (such as driver's licenses), other identification documents (such as utility bills), bank account numbers, MoneyGram Plus Rewards numbers, transaction information (such as dates and amounts of transactions) and, for a limited number of consumers, criminal investigation information (such as fraud).
The company said it is still investigating the issue to determine which customers were affected.
