Home security giant ADT says it was hacked

ADT disclosed a recent data breach in which attackers accessed databases containing customer home addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers; the company said a "small percentage" of its six million customers were affected and stated it has no reason to believe home security systems were compromised. A cybercrime forum seller later claimed to have roughly 30,000 ADT customer records, though that claim was not independently verified and ADT declined further comment.
