Learn More
PHH Mortgage Corporation (PHH) reported a data breach that occurred when an unauthorized party gained access to information within the company's database. No details about the breach are public, but It's plausible that the breach occurred at a third-party vendor and did not directly compromise PHH's computer network.
The types of breached data vary for each individual, but it may encompass their:
- names,
- Social Security numbers,
- addresses,
- dates of birth.
PHH reports that 8,073 individuals were affected in Texas alone. The nationwide scope of the breach is yet to be determined.
PHH confirmed that notifications to customers regarding the breach had already been dispatched by one of the PHH's vendors, which confirms the suspicion of a third party breach.
