Visible confirms latest security breach

Verizon Wireless’ prepaid brand, Visible, appears to be the victim of the latest security breach. 

This was reported a few days ago after an employee confirmed the breach through Reddit. The post read:

“We’re currently investigating an incident where information on a small number of member accounts was changed without their authorization. We’re working hard to take protective steps to secure these accounts. 

 

We don't believe that any Visible systems have been breached or compromised, nor that this unauthorized access to your Visible account is ongoing. However, for your protection, we recommend you review your account contact information and change your password and security questions to your Visible account. We also recommend that you review any other accounts that share the same email, login, or password, and make any changes you determine necessary to secure those accounts.”

 

After news of the breach circulated online, Visible confirmed the report and promised that they were already conducting an investigation on the incident. However, there have been some customers who were reportedly charged a new iPhone device by Visible. 

Visible has since recommended changing the passwords of customers. But there are some who could not even do this. 

Right now, there is no status update on the investigation that Visible is conducting.
