Verizon Breached. Check!

Creator of the infamous Data Breach Investigations Report has themselves been breached.

Contacted about the posting, Verizon Enterprise told KrebsOnSecurity that the company recently identified a security  flaw in its site that permitted hackers to steal customer contact information, and that it is in the process of alerting affected customers.

From the article, customer contact information of about one and a half million was stolen and up for sale in the underground. The seller(s) were asking $100,000 for the whole lot and even would sell chunks of 100,000 for $10,000.

It is assumed that buyers of this information will use the data to create sophisticated social engineering attacks.
