Sounds like VZW is lying as usual… Anyone that HAS any system CAN BE HACKED… THE END!!!! Also to the idiots out there, you don’t need ROOT ACCESS to Steal files, only to modify them or maybe to delete them, but not to COPY THEM or the like…

I’m guessing so they copy and track every website you go to for further research for advertisers. Somewhere in all the legal jargon in terms of agreement, they’ve probably worded that you give them permission to watch and copy everything you do. All so they can take everyone’s information and habits and sell it.

The hacker actually NEVER claimed to have VZW records. You can look at his twitter feed.

It’s FIOS, not VZW.

Verizon is denying that its database was hacked. However, they have admitted that the marketing firm leaked info. They aren’t denying the whole thing.

My confusion is that if it was stolen from a marketing firm…why do they have my FIOS password? That information absolutely should never be shared.

My account was hacked and two phones were dispatched to California… It has since been taken care of.. But.. They did tell me it was from the Verizon website and insisted I change my passwords immediately.. One gs3 and one iPhone 5.. I have unlined data so it seems maybe this’d is aimed at those who have unlimited still and are due for upgrade… Just my two cents

It’s FIOS customers and I know a few of those affected. What action can we take?

Even weirder actually was the fact that the marketing firm appeared to have it under almost no protection at all.

I agree with Verizon on this one, because there is no way they would ever allow ROOT access…
