U.S. telecommunications giant Charter Communications has confirmed it suffered a data breach after the ShinyHunters extortion group threatened to leak stolen data unless a ransom is paid.
Charter Communications is one of the largest broadband providers in the United States, serving tens of millions of residential and business customers through its Spectrum brand.
In a statement shared this weekend, the company said it is alerting authorities about the incident and that no sensitive personal customer information was stolen.
"We are aware of the situation, following our security protocols and are in the process of alerting appropriate authorities," Charter told BleepingComputer.
"No sensitive personal information (PI) or customer proprietary network information (CPNI) data was exfiltrated by the threat actor as a result of recent activity."
