Carnival data breach hits hundreds of thousands via social engineering
Carnival Corp says an unauthorized actor used social engineering to deceive an employee, gaining limited access to its IT system. More than 800,000 Texans were affected, with exposed information potentially including names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, and government IDs such as driver’s licenses and passports. Carnival is notifying impacted customers and offering two years of free credit monitoring through TransUnion, plus a dedicated call center as it continues its investigation and strengthens security.
