Nokia database hacked, personal information leaked
Finnish handset maker Nokia Oyj yesterday said that five of its Taiwanese Web sites were hacked earlier this month, giving hackers access to the personal data of local consumers.
No classified data of Nokia’s local consumers were involved in the incident. No credit card details, ID numbers or medical information were leaked, the company said in a statement.
Nokia said it could not be sure whether a larger number of consumers’ personal data had been leaked in addition to the 170,000, but suspected that about 1.5 million items, including consumers’ transaction records registered to attend company product promotion activities, had been hacked.
