“The fact that it took them months to become aware of such a major intrusion is highly concerning,” said Jonah Reynolds, director of the Anti-Cybercrime Task Force.
MegaCorp says they will be notifying impacted customers and providing free credit monitoring services. MegaCorp resetting user passwords as a precaution. This breach could represent a major test of consumer trust in the tech giant’s security practices.
