FBCS Data Breach Exposes Comcast and Truist Bank Customers' Personal Information

Comcast and Truist Bank customers are the latest to be affected by a massive data breach at Financial Business and Consumer Solutions (FBCS). The breach, initially reported in early 2024, compromised the personal details of millions of individuals, including Social Security numbers and account information, raising concerns about identity theft and data misuse.

  • FBCS Data Breach Impact: The breach occurred between February 14 and 26, 2024, exposing sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, account details, and birth dates of over 4.2 million people.
  • Comcast and Truist Bank Customers Affected: Comcast reported that 273,703 customers were impacted, while Truist Bank is still assessing the full extent, potentially affecting a large portion of its customer base.
  • Delayed Notifications: Although FBCS initially claimed no customer data was compromised, both companies were later informed of the breach, prompting them to notify their customers.
  • Identity Theft Concerns: Affected individuals were offered 12 months of free identity theft protection services as a precautionary measure.
