Carnival Corporation is offering two years of complimentary credit monitoring to affected U.S. customers after a data breach compromised the personal information of nearly six million people.
The breach occurred in April after a hacker “used social engineering to deceive an employee and gain access to a limited portion of the company’s IT system,” the company said. In a regulatory filing with the Maine Attorney General’s office, Carnival disclosed that the incident exposed the personal data of 5,995,277 people.
