Comcast said on Monday it was forcing 200,000 customers to reset
their passwords and information after the company discovered its
information was being sold online by black market brokers.
The
force-reset of the stolen accounts info, which did not come from a
breach in Comcast's network but from past, shared hacks of of other
companies, shows how commodified stolen data has become.
The Comcast
customers' email addresses and the passwords associated with those
email addresses were offered for sale on the dark web over the weekend.
