Bell (2014 breach) Data Breach (2014)

If you are a customer of Bell (2014 breach), here’s what’s now in circulation.

In February 2014, Bell Canada suffered a data breach via the hacker collective known as NullCrew. The breach included data from multiple locations within Bell and exposed email addresses, usernames, user preferences and a number of unencrypted passwords and credit card data from 40,000 records containing just over 20,000 unique email addresses and usernames.

What to do now

Steps that match what this notice says was exposed

Every step below is free and you do it yourself, and none of it depends on Bell (2014 breach).

  1. Tell your bank before you do anything else. Account and routing details are the fastest-moving of the fields in this notice. Call the number on the back of your card rather than any number in an email, and ask them to watch the account and reissue the card.

One more, whatever was exposed: a breach notice is a favourite disguise for a phishing email. If a message about this arrives, do not use its links — go to the company’s site yourself, or call the number on your statement.
