At the end of August, TransUnion began notifying individuals of a breach on their systems, affecting over 4.4 million customers. They confirmed that sensitive information had been stolen which included names, dates of birth, and social security numbers.

TransUnion is used by over 65,000 businesses across the world, and one of the three major credit reporting agencies in the United States.

TechCrunch reports, “Several companies, including Google, insurance giant Allianz Life, Cisco, and HR giant Workday, reported data breaches of customer data stored in their Salesforce-hosted cloud databases.”

TransUnion is evidently the most recent target in this chain of attacks. This was a large scale breach agianst the company, yet only a fragment of this broad cyberattack wave.
