Toy-making giant Hasbro disclose data breach affecting employees
Hasbro has disclosed a data breach in which attackers gained access to personal and financial information belonging to an undisclosed number of the company's employees. The toy and games giant has not said how many people were affected or how the breach occurred.
Why this matters: This one hits employees, not customers. The people exposed did not choose to share their data with the world — they shared it with their employer because they had to. Personal and financial information in that context means pay records, tax details, banking information, maybe benefits data. Hasbro has not said how many people are affected or what exactly was taken. Until they do, the people most at risk cannot protect themselves. That gap is the real problem.
