Capital One has announced a data breach that has exposed the personal information of 106 million people that includes transaction data, credit scores, payment history, balances, and for some, linked bank accounts and social security numbers. The data breach was discovered when an ethical hacker responsibly disclosed the vulnerability to Capital One on July 17th 2019. A Seattle person named Paige Thompson was arrested by the FBI in connection to the hack of Capital One’s systems. Capital One will be notifying each user who was affected by email and will be providing free credit monitoring service.
