"Mortgage Giant Mr. Cooper Data Breach Affects 14.7 Million People"

Mr. Cooper is sending data breach notifications warning that a recent cyberattack has exposed the data of 14.7 million customers who have, or previously had, mortgages with the company.  Mr. Cooper is a Dallas-based mortgage lending firm that employs approximately 9,000 people and has millions of customers.  The lender is one of the largest servicers in the United States, servicing loans of $937 billion.  In early November 2023, the company announced that it had been breached in a cyberattack on October 30, 2023, which it discovered the following day.  In response to the unauthorized intrusion, the firm was forced to shut down all IT systems, including the online payment portal used to pay loans and mortgages.  A week after the incident disclosure, the company announced it had found evidence that the network intruders conducting the attack had, unfortunately, accessed customer data.  The information exposed to cybercriminals includes full name, home address, phone number, Social Security Number (SSN), date of birth, and bank account number.  At this time, no further details about the type of cyberattack have been disclosed, and no ransomware gangs have assumed responsibility for an attack on Mr. Cooper.
