In March, Western Digital identified a network security incident in which both customer and company data were compromised. Western Digital notified those affected so they could take action to secure their private data as much as possible. Since this security breach, certain online functions have been halted. This week we’ve received an update on the situation along with plans to restore online activity.
According to Western Digital, an unknown third party accessed a Western Digital database containing customer information, including not only their names, addresses, and phone numbers but also billing details such as credit card information, although the numbers were encrypted. The customers impacted by this breach were contacted by Western Digital immediately so they could take action to help protect their private information.
