Logitech Reports Data Breach From Zero-Day Software Vulnerability (nerds.xyz) 5
BrianFagioli writes: Logitech has confirmed a cybersecurity breach after an intruder exploited a zero-day in a third-party software platform and copied internal data. The company says the incident did not affect its products, manufacturing or business operations, and it does not believe sensitive personal information like national ID numbers or credit card data were stored in the impacted system. The attacker still managed to pull limited information tied to employees, consumers, customers and suppliers, raising fair questions about how long the zero-day existed before being patched.
Logitech brought in outside cybersecurity firms, notified regulators and says the incident will not materially affect its financial results. The company expects its cybersecurity insurance policy to cover investigation costs and any potential legal or regulatory issues. Still, with zero-day attacks increasing across the tech world, even established hardware brands are being forced to acknowledge uncomfortable weaknesses in their internal systems.

It's fine if customers' and employees' finances are obliterated just so long as Logitech's financial results are okay.
The fucking corporations aren't even bothering to pretend to care about customers and employees anymore. Shareholder value is the only thing they worry about.

It is not IF you will get hacked, but WHEN you will get hacked.
