"Life360 Says Hacker Tried to Extort Them After Tile Data Breach"

Safety and location services company Life360 has recently announced that it was the target of an extortion attempt after a threat actor breached and stole sensitive information from a Tile customer support platform. Life360 provides real-time location tracking, crash detection, and emergency roadside assistance services to more than 66 million members worldwide. The company says that an attacker breached a Tile customer support platform and gained access to names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and device identification numbers. The company noted that the exposed data does not include more sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, passwords or log-in credentials, location data, or government-issued identification numbers, because the Tile customer support platform did not contain these information types. The company believes that the incident was limited to the specific Tile customer support data described above and is not more widespread. Life360 did not disclose how the threat actor breached its platform, but the company stated that it had taken steps to protect its systems from further attack and reported the extortion attempts to law enforcement. The company has yet to reveal when the breach was detected or how many customers were impacted by the resulting data breach.
