MoneyGram hack update: Breach included Social Security numbers, government documents, bank and other sensitive data

The money-sending service has revealed which data was accessed in an apparent cyberattack. It now recommends that customers sign up for identity protection.

MoneyGram is back online after a cybersecurity breach disrupted services and compromised personal information. Between September 20 and 22, an “unauthorized third party” accessed and acquired the personal data of certain MoneyGram customers, the company said, leaving users unable to access their accounts.
