From the article:
The information in the document is limited and does not immediately expose those listed to fraud, the company said in its apology. Yet it recommends that people affected review their bills more carefully and add a password to their account by calling 1-866-861-5096. Great.. they give you a number to a sales office and it isn't monitored 24/7 either. Most credit card companies have a 24/7 response for fraud related issues, but Verizon doesn't? Glad to see they really treat this seriously. _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tracking more than 142 million compromised records in 315 incidents over 6 years.
