HR giant Workday says hackers stole personal data in recent breach.

Learning about yet another cyber breach affecting a large company is not particularly surprising. Nowadays, news of this kind is seen more and more frequently, leading readers to an inevitable state of almost complete desensitization. The article we are presenting today reports on a recent breach at the giant “Workday”, which specializes in on-demand software for financial management, human capital management, and student information systems.

According to a post published in mid-August on the company's blog, hackers stole an unspecified amount of personal information from Workday's database. The company mainly stored contact information in the database, including names, email addresses, and phone numbers.

According to Workday's predictions, the stolen information could be used to carry out social engineering scams, such as blackmail aimed at gaining access to sensitive data.
