Croatian phone carrier 'A1 Hrvatska' has disclosed a data breach exposing the personal information of 10% of its customers, roughly 200,000 people.
The announcement does not provide many details other than that they suffered a cybersecurity incident involving the unauthorized access of one of their user databases, which contained sensitive personal information.
A1 Hrvatska emphasizes that information on bank cards or online accounts hasn't been compromised, as the accessed database didn't contain these details.
A1 Hrvatska says they are directly notifying customers whose information was exposed in this breach.
A1 Hrvatska is a strategic partner of Vodafone, whose Portugal region suffered a very disruptive cyberattack three days ago that led to the disruption of 4G and 5G data services.
The incident doesn't appear to have affected A1 Hrvatska's services or operations, so it looks like a case of unauthorized access to a database, either through a misconfiguration or stolen credentials.
