Data Breach Compromises Personal Information of Koons Customers

NBC Universal, Inc. Koons sent letters to customers alerting them that some of their personal information may have been compromised. Consumer Reporter Susan Hogan reports.

Koons Automotive Group identified a data breach that may have compromised customers’ personal information.

The company discovered unusual activity on certain computer systems beginning June 5. An investigation discovered an unauthorized actor gained access to a portion of the network and encrypted network files.

According to Koons, after a lengthy review completed in December, it was able to confirm the systems breached contained customer names and financial account information. The company was able to identify the customers impacted.

As a result, Koons is offering 12 months of complimentary access to credit monitoring and identity restoration services. 

The best defense from becoming a victim of identity theft is to freeze all three credit reports.
