LoanCare suffered a data breach last month, which resulted in the theft of sensitive customer data, the insurance service company has confirmed.
Roughly 1.3 million people were affected by the breach, the company further explained, as hackers stole people’s full names, physical addresses, Social Security Numbers (SSN), and loan numbers.
This information can be used in all kinds of cyberattacks, from phishing, to identity theft, and wire fraud. Users are advised to be wary of any incoming email messages, phone calls, or other forms of communication, in which people claim to be calling from LoanCare.
