Verizon has had a data breach in March of 2016 which involves the theft of its customer data.
There are more than 1.5 millon customers.
It involves business and regular customers which bodes ill for customers and businesses.
Verizon has not yet responded to questions about how the breach occurred.
This does not inspire us with confidence.
Is no business safe online?

This is the biggest problem with all of our information traveling on the internet highway. Eventually there will be those who will want our information and cause headaches for us. I love modern technology, don't get me wrong, I just don't like this dark side of it. We've been with them since 2013 without trouble. I'm hoping it stays that way. Have a blessed evening

This is amazing, I understand many companies get hacked/breached but you would think someone like Verizon would have stronger security since they are in the business of phone and internet. No company is safe!

@Cintronwriter Anything is possible. It has gotten to the point where we can not trust anyone and any company/agency. Very sad!

Right? Wonder if it's an inside job or the FBI attempting to gather intel for their illegal spying activities.

@Cintronwriter I wondered about the inside job thing. Not all employees are honest.

Yes, they're similar to Sprint and T-Mobile.

@Cintronwriter It just seems like they could try harder. I had my bank card number stolen and used in another state. It had to be someone hacked into the bank files. You would think they would pay someone to work on protecting information.

I hate to think that they don't care. Maybe it's a lapse of judgment on the part of customer service, or, a security patch failure.

I dont have Verizon thank goodness, but it seems no business is immune to this nowadays.
I feel it is only a matter of time before all businesses are breached online. What a horrible thought.

That's not fair, unless they give a credible excuse, their license should be removed and stop servicing their clients for such breach. people deserve to know the truth. have a nice day.

They should be better prepared but are any companies ever really prepared for this type of thing happening.

It is like every other week someone company or another is being hacked.

It looks like more and more are hacked. Its a bit scary knowing all that you do on line is not safe.

News to me. I've been with Verizon for close to a decade. Was an email sent by the company notifying customers of the breach?

It only happened a day or so ago so no email has been sent yet to notify anyone.
