Vodafone

Vodafone claims that hackers attempted to access consumers' accounts by using the emails and passwords they had taken from an unidentified source.

At that moment, the business started a thorough investigation to get all the information needed to provide the best guidance possible to any impacted clients.

The telecoms provider claims that 1,827 customer accounts were hacked by the crooks, who obtained the last four digits of the consumers' bank accounts, their names, and their mobile phone numbers.

Although credit or debit card numbers or other information were not acquired, it is crucial to remember that information that is accessible by thieves may be utilized for fraudulent purposes.
