Hi BlackCloak Client,

Xfinity disclosed it experienced a data breach in October, resulting in the exposure of sensitive data belonging to more than 35 million customers.

The exposed information included customers' usernames and passwords, and in some cases, names, contact information, dates of birth, security questions and the last four digits of Social Security numbers.

If you are an Xfinity customer, it's highly recommended you take these steps to protect yourself. Even if you are not one of the 35 million customers affected, it's a good idea to perform these actions out of an abundance of caution.

What Should I Do?:

• Reset your password. If your Comcast / Xfinity Password is the same password you use on any other sites or apps, please change it ASAP across all accounts using that password. You should consider this password compromised and attackers will use this password to attempt to login to your other accounts like email, financial and social media accounts.
• Be sure that whatever password or passphrase you use is completely unique. Do not reuse any previous passwords. Watch this on-demand webinar to learn about password management best practices.
• Enable dual factor authentication on your account.
• Even with only partial exposure of Social Security numbers, you should consider placing a credit freeze and fraud alert on your accounts.
• Consider resetting your security questions.
