Between April 25, 2020, and August 5, 2020, an unauthorized third party potentially acquired personal information, including names, addresses, and payment card details (card number, CVC/CVV, expiration date). Payments via PayPal were unaffected. WMG engaged forensic experts, notified credit card providers and law enforcement, and offered 12 months of free identity monitoring through Kroll.
