Protecting Your Privacy and Strengthening Our Cybersecurity Infrastructure
During a two-day period, an unauthorized party gained access to files containing sensitive personal information about current and former customers.
In October 2023, Mr. Cooper determined that there was unauthorized access to certain of our systems over a two-day period, and during this time, files containing personal information were obtained by an unauthorized party.
Upon learning of this incident, we immediately took steps to identify and remediate it, including locking down our systems, changing account passwords, and restoring our systems. We initiated a detailed review to identify personal information contained in the impacted files as part of the incident. We are also monitoring the dark web and have not seen any evidence that the data related to this incident has been further shared, published, or otherwise misused.
Data involved varied by individual and may have included: name, address, phone number, Social Security number, date of birth, and bank account number. It is important to note that less than one percent of impacted customers had bank account numbers contained in the files that were affected by this incident.
Following the incident, Mr. Cooper mailed a letter to every impacted individual with details on the data of theirs that was involved.
