A billion-dollar bank is warning customers after a cybersecurity breach affecting thousands of customers.

In a filing with the Office of the Maine Attorney General, Western Alliance Bank says an unauthorized actor exploited a vulnerability in a third-party file transfer software system it uses.

The breach, which was discovered in late January and happened in October, impacts 21,899 customers, according to the filing.

“Western Alliance learned that an unauthorized actor had potentially accessed some of Western Alliance’s data on January 27, 2025. Our investigation determined that the unauthorized actor acquired certain files from the systems from October 12, 2024, to October 24, 2024…

On February 21, 2025, we determined that the files contained some of your personal information, including your name and Social Security number. The files may have also contained your date of birth, financial account number, driver’s license number, tax identification number, and/or passport, if you provided it to Western Alliance.”

The bank says it has informed law enforcement about the data breach and is offering customers a 12-month complimentary membership to an identity-theft protection service.

Western Alliance Bank currently has approximately $81 billion in total assets, according to the Federal Reserve.

Millions of customers at a retail pharmacy giant are set to receive their share of multi-million dollar settlement following a major hack and data breach.

A total of 2.2 million Rite Aid customers will share a $6.8 million settlement after hackers from the RansomHub group stole a trove of personal information over the summer.

The hackers successfully impersonated a Rite Aid employee and accessed the company’s systems to extract information.

The breach exposed names, addresses, birth dates and IDs tied to purchases from June of 2017 to July of 2018.

A federal judge has now granted preliminary approval to the settlement, and customers can claim up to $10,000 for documented losses.

Rite Aid, which exited bankruptcy in September 2024, says it’s boosting its digital security and notifying affected individuals.

Although the site is not live at time of publishing, further details are expected to be published at RiteAidDataSettlement.com in the coming weeks.

The tenth-largest bank in the US by total assets just disclosed a new cybersecurity incident that’s affecting customers’ data.

In a filing with the Massachusetts state government, TD Bank says it recently discovered that a former employee accessed and shared sensitive personal information belonging to customers between August of 2022 and December of the same year.

“The employee has since been terminated, and there is an active investigation underway in partnership with law enforcement.”

According to TD Bank, the data impacted may have included the names, contact information, dates of birth, account numbers and transactional data of customers.

“This incident is being investigated by our corporate security team and we are also engaged and partnering with local law enforcement.”

Although the bank has not released the number of customers whose data has been exposed, at least eight customers in the state of Massachusetts are affected.

Following the incident, the billion-dollar lender is offering a complimentary membership to an online fraud prevention and detection service. TD Bank is also simplifying the process of closing and opening accounts.

“If you want added protection for your money at TD Bank and would like to close your existing account(s) and open new account(s), we’ll make it as simple as possible.”

And depending on the state of residence, TD Bank customers can also place a security freeze on their credit reports with the three major US consumer reporting agencies.

As of September 30th of 2024, TD Bank had close to $400 billion in total assets, according to the Federal Reserve.
