Comcast Xfinity data breach affects over 35 million people
[TheVerge] I guess the question now is:

Can Xfinity handle the load of 35 millions users busy changing passwords and challenge questions this week.

BTW: Still no Email warning from COMCAST/XFINITY on this issue as on this as of 0720 hrs.

Only this little banner on their website page so far at this users end.

"Xfinity was impacted by a data incident. Click "Learn More" to understand what we're doing to mitigate the issue and protect our customers."

Isn't interesting how Google, Comcast and etc, have all had IT Sec issues and now want you to use your Cell phone for a 2-step verification process.

A process that would have you giving them your #, and quiet access to all the other trackable info that goes with it. Likely having like your GPS location 24/7, what stores you shop, places you frequent, bars, political venues and more.

I got the inkling when after 20 years they suddenly wanted me to change my passwords. Followed up several days later by a notification from Aura.

#3 Comforting to know the first line of defense in internet security (my internet provider) has security issues.
