Incident summary
Frontier Communications Parent, Inc.Apr 2024
$5.64 million
Spent responding & recovering
Direct expense
Frontier pulled portions of its IT environment offline the day it detected the intruder, which is what containment looks like when one open door reaches the rest of the house. RansomHub, which claimed the theft, put it at more than two million people; Frontier's own notice came to roughly 751,000: names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth. How the access was gained was never stated. The count an extortion crew posts and the count a company files are rarely the same, and only one of them carries a penalty for being wrong.
