News Corp UK & Ireland Limited

News UK says an unauthorized third party entered part of its network and took customer records from an unnamed business application. In an interesting twist for a news organization, there is not a single story available in the media about this incident. The exposed data was enough to identify and convincingly target customers, but the company has not disclosed which brand, system, or control failed, or how many people were affected overall. The breach is confirmed; the public explanation has been designed to satisfy notification requirements, not to explain the failure.
