MoneyGram confirms hackers stole customers’ personal info, transaction data

American money transfer company MoneyGram has acknowledged that during a breach last month, hackers obtained the transactional and personal data of its clients.

An unauthorized third party “accessed and acquired” customer data during the September 20 cyberattack, the MoneyGram claimed in a statement released on Monday.

The source of the intrusion is yet unknown, but it caused a week-long outage that brought the company’s app and website offline thus disrupting business activities for a while.
