Virgin Media left contact information for 900,000 people exposed in an improperly configured marketing database, the company said in a statement Thursday. The exposed data was accessed by outside actors at least once, the company said, but is now properly secured.
The phone numbers, addresses and emails for "customers and potential customers" were in the database, according to UK-based Virgin Media. The data didn't include any financial information or login credentials. The database was accessible for about 10 months, from April 2019 through February 2020. Virgin Media is contacting affected people directly to let them know their data was exposed.
