ADT, one of the largest home security companies in the United States, made headlines this week after confirming a recent hack that compromised some customer data. The cyberattack and data breach involved accessing databases containing customer home addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers. ADT reassured customers that their home security systems were not compromised during the incident, although a “small percentage” of customers were affected. With six million customers as of June 2024, ADT is working to address the situation. The disclosure comes after a cybercriminal claimed to have stolen over 30,000 customer records from ADT. Despite inquiries, ADT declined to comment on the incident. Owned by private equity giant Apollo Global Management, ADT continues to prioritize customer security and safety.
