Comcast will pay a $1.5 million fine after a vendor breach exposed personal data from 237,000 current and former customers, the Federal Communications Commission said on Monday.

The FCC said a debt collector used by Comcast until 2022, Financial Business and Consumer Solutions, suffered a 2024 data breach that exposed personal information of Comcast internet, TV and home security customers.

The FCC noted the vendor known as FBCS filed for bankruptcy before the data breach was disclosed in August 2024.

As part of the FCC settlement, Comcast agreed to adopt a compliance plan that includes new vendor oversight practices related to customer privacy and information protection.

Comcast said in a statement it “was not responsible for and has not conceded any wrongdoing in connection with this incident.”

The company added that no Comcast systems were compromised, and FBCS was required to comply with its vendor security requirements. “We remain committed to continually strengthening our cybersecurity policies and protections to safeguard customer data,” it said.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
