There is currently some confusion between Transmit Security and the researcher who discovered the breach as to what all was affected in the breach. It is possible that this confusion could have been caused by either a misunderstanding of what data was being seen in the compromise or in the way that the attackers discussed the compromised data with the security researcher. No matter what information was compromised in the breach, this breach highlights the risks that any company is exposed to when working with other companies. Security can only be as strong as the other systems that are utilized. This is why utilizing strong unique passwords on every system and multi-factor authentication whenever possible are vital to security. Following a breach like this, there is typically an increase in attempts to compromise accounts by trying the same or similar passwords on multiple systems as well as an increase in attempts to phish users whose emails were discovered during the breach.
