Fifth Third Bank Warns Some Customers That Personal Information May Have Been Used by Former Bank Employees in Apparent Data Breach
According to beaconjournal.com,
Fifth Third Bank has warned some customers that their personal information may have been misused by former bank employees in an apparent data breach.
In a letter to customers, Fifth Third said it believes ‘a small number of former employees’ misused the info dating back to the summer of 2018.
The information included name, social security number, driver’s license information, mother’s maiden name, address, phone number, date of birth and account numbers. [Emphasis added.]
Fifth Third Bank, according to beaconjournal.com, stated that “all customers affected have been notified of this issue,” and “[a]ny customer that suffered financial loss was reimbursed.” Additionally, beaconjournal.com reported that “[b]ank employees involved in wrongdoing were fired.”
Consumer Federation of America “Slams” Fifth Third Bank Over the Data Breach
Tennessean.com reported that
[t]he head of the Consumer Federation of America slammed Fifth Third’s cryptic letter to customers disclosing a data breach that has exposed an undisclosed number of people to identity theft.
‘Fifth Third is only telling half the story – it’s vague and deceptive to customers because it’s not just their Fifth Third accounts that will be impacted,’ said Jack Gillis, executive director of the Washington, DC-based nonprofit consumer advocate. [Emphasis added.]

Estée Lauder Database of Over 400 Million Records Discovered Online by a Security Researcher
Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is making consumers aware that siliconANGLE.com reported that “[s]ome 440 million records in a database belonging to cosmetics maker Estée Lauder Companies Inc. have been found unsecured and exposed online, potentially putting customers at risk.” According to siliconANGLE.com,
[t]he database was discovered by security researcher Jeremiah Fowler from Security Discovery Jan. 30 and publicized today. It involved 440,336,852 individual pieces of data, including plaintext email addresses, some sent from internal email addresses. It also included references to reports and internal documents as well as IP addresses, ports, pathways and storage information. [Emphasis added.]
Further, siliconANGLE.com reported:
In a statement, Estée Lauder confirmed the data exposure, saying that the database contained ‘a limited number of non-consumer email addresses from an education platform.’ It also claimed it contained no consumer data and it had found no evidence of unauthorized use.
How long the data was accessible online is unknown. Given the depth of the data exposed, the company’s claims that it contained no customer data are not reassuring. There is also a serious concern that the data, as it related to internal systems, could have been used as a secondary path for malware through which further data could be compromised. [Emphasis added.]
