AutoZone revealed that cybercriminals have stolen information, including social security numbers, after exploiting a vulnerability in the MOVEit Transfer managed file transfer application. However, the company is not aware of instances where the exposed information has been used for fraud. Nevertheless, impacted customers are being offered free credit monitoring and identity protection services.
AutoZone pointed out that it is one of the more than two thousand organizations impacted by the MOVEit hack. However, the company determined that the exploitation of the MOVEit vulnerability resulted in data exfiltration only on August 15, more than two months after news of widespread exploitation broke.
According to cybersecurity firm Emsisoft, the number of impacted organizations - both directly and indirectly - reached 2,620 as of November 21, with more than 77 million individuals being affected.
