One server of Vodafone has been leaked in Germany. Intruder gained access to details of 2 Million users who had applied for a new contract. Stolen data includes names, addresses, birth dates, and bank account information.
Vodafone confirms that the attacker has also been identified by police. Company detected the attack earlier this this month.
“Vodafone Germany announces that it has recently been subject to a highly sophisticated and illegal intrusion into one of its servers in Germany, which has resulted in the theft of a limited amount of German customer data. This criminal attack appears to have been executed by an individual working inside Vodafone. An individual has been identified by the police and their assets have been seized,” Vodafone said in press release.
Vodafone confirms that the incident only affects the clients in Germany. Company also confirms that attacker didn’t get access to credit card information, password, PIN numbers, mobile numbers or other secure details. Vodafone said that stolen data is not enough to access customer’s bank accounts. But company has warned customers about potential phishing attacks.
