Home » Capital One Announces Data Breach Affecting 100 Million Customers
Capital One Financial Corporation announced a data breach that affected approximately 100 million individuals in the United States and approximately 6 million in Canada.
Capital One says it immediately fixed the configuration vulnerability that this individual exploited and promptly began working with federal law enforcement. The FBI has arrested the person responsible and that person is in custody. "Based on our analysis to date, we believe it is unlikely that the information was used for fraud or disseminated by this individual. However, we will continue to investigate," says a press release.
