"Massive Xfinity Data Breach Exposes Millions of Comcast Customers"

Comcast has disclosed a significant data breach at Xfinity, potentially impacting around 36 million accounts. The breach was caused by a vulnerability in software provided by Citrix, which exposed usernames, hashed passwords, and, for some customers, personal information such as names, contact details, partial social security numbers, dates of birth, and secret questions and answers. Comcast has patched the vulnerability and required customers to reset their passwords, while urging them to enable two-factor or multi-factor authentication. The company is working with law enforcement and conducting an investigation into the breach.
