The film included your name, date of birth, identification number, and others.
The American media corporation Paramount Global reported a hacker attack, as a result of which attackers gained access to the personal data of just under 100 people.
The notices for victims, signed by Nickelodeon Animation studio vice president Brian Keane, state that Paramount's systems were hacked between May and June 2023.
The company immediately tried to establish the scale and consequences of the incident. "The investigation revealed that personal information may have included your name, date of birth, social security number, or other government-issued identification number," the letter, which is addressed to the victims, reads.
Protection of vulnerable systems was soon restored. The corporation has also engaged an external cybersecurity specialist and is cooperating with law enforcement agencies.
The fact that "hackers could get to the personal data of only 100 people," said a representative of Paramount. Who exactly was affected by the leak-employees of the company or its customers (for example, subscribers of Paramount+), is not yet specified.
Experts say that the attack was not ransomware, and it is most likely not related to the recent attacks of the Clop group on the MOVEit platform. The company itself does not provide any other details.
Paramount Global is the leader of the American entertainment industry. It owns the CBS, Showtime Networks, Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, and Paramount+brands. These services together have more than 4.3 billion subscribers in more than 180 countries.
The media giant continues to strengthen security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
