Account tokens obtained through the exploitation of a trio of vulnerabilities within Facebook's "View As" feature have enabled the widespread hijacking of Facebook user accounts, according to the Irish data watchdog.
Unauthorized systems access has prompted the exfiltration of names and other personal data, said Regional Care in a filing with the Office of the Maine Attorney General that noted the breach's discovery almost a week after the intrusion commenced.
While such an intrusion was reported by Namibian news outlets to have resulted in the compromise of more than 400,000 files, including information from high-profile government officials and clients, Telecom Namibia noted ongoing efforts to evaluate the breach as well as curb its impact on clients.
Aside from names and phone numbers, other information compromised as a result of the data breach may have also included birthdates, medical record numbers, details regarding health conditions, prescriptions, and treatments, and some Social Security numbers, said ConnectOnCall in a statement.
Unauthorized access into the HSCs' network from Sep. 17 to 19 enabled the varying exposure of individuals' full names, birthdates, Social Security numbers, physical addresses, driver's license and government ID numbers, financial account details, medical information, diagnosis and treatment details, health insurance data, and billing/claims details.
