Logitech confirms large customer data breach2025-11-17 14:25 by DanielaTags: Logitech, data breach
PC accessory manufacturer Logitech confirmed that it was recently hit with a massive data leak. The "cybersecurity incident relating to the exfiltration of data" probably includes consumer, business, and employee data, according to an official statement. Logitech claims that it believes consumer identity and payment information was not leaked, as it wasn't on the affected systems. The company says it was compromised through a zero-day exploit on a third-party system that's been patched. Other details are scarce. The company was named as a victim by the CL0P ransomware group earlier this month as part of the threat group's campaign targeting Oracle E-Business Suite vulnerabilities. According to BleepingComputer, Logitech was added to a publicly displayed list of compromised targets, some of which have confirmed receipt of ransomware demands. Clop claims to have captured 1.8 terabytes of data specifically from Logitech. What can you do to protect yourself from this and other massive data breaches? As an end user, not a lot. These massive breaches tend to be the result of (1) lax security by the companies that already have your data or (2) zero-day exploits that are impossible to predict or defend against. The easiest and most practical thing you can do beyond basic identity theft protections (such as freezing your credit reports) is to make sure you never re-use passwords and always set up extra protections (like passkeys) on especially sensitive accounts.
