Canadian ISP Rogers Communications has begun to notify customers of a data breach that exposed their personal information due to an unsecured database.

In a data breach notification posted to their site, Rogers states that they learned on February 26th, 2020 that a vendor database containing customer information was unsecured and publicly exposed to the Internet.

"On February 26, 2020, Rogers became aware that one of our external service providers had inadvertently made information available online that provided access to a database managed by that service provider. [...]" Rogers explained.
Rogers' support article states that no credit card, banking, or password information was exposed by the database.

As some of the exposed information was mobile numbers, Rogers has also added port protection to the numbers to block them from being ported to another carrier without authorization.
All customers impacted by this data breach should be on the lookout for targeted phishing scams.
