MoneyGram Cyberattack Exposes Sensitive Customer Data

Hackers accessed personal and transaction information of MoneyGram users, affecting an undetermined number of customers worldwide.

The cyberattack on MoneyGram occurred between September 20 and 22, 2024, leading to a five-day service outage.
Stolen data includes names, contact details, Social Security numbers, government IDs, and transaction information.
MoneyGram has not yet disclosed the total number of affected customers but serves over 50 million users globally.
The breach was reportedly initiated through a social engineering attack on MoneyGram's IT help desk.
Impacted U.S. customers will receive a two-year subscription to Experian's identity protection service.
