Hackers have leaked stolen Social Security numbers and bank accounts from CommScope.
The Vice Society ransomware group is considered the threat actor behind the campaign.

- home networks,
- broadband networks,
- venue and campus Networks,
- and outdoor wireless networks.
- CommScope designs and manufactures network infrastructure products for hospitals, schools, U.S. federal agencies, etc.
- The leaked data contains the personal data of thousands of CommScope employees, including details such as:
- full names,
- postal addresses,
- email addresses,
- personal numbers,
- Social Security numbers,
- and bank account information.
- CommScope has not commented on the threat actor responsible for the cyberattack or the threat vector used by that actor.
- Researchers, however, claim that the Vice Society ransomware group is responsible for this cyber attack.
- While the scale of this breach is not known yet, CommScope employs more than 30,000 people worldwide, meaning that more than 30,000 datasets could potentially be at risk.
