What Caused the Data Breach at Progressive Leasing?
The Progressive Leasing data breach is still being investigated, though most of these data theft incidents are strikingly similar. On September 11, Progressive experienced a cyberattack. After an initial investigation, the company concluded that the unauthorized party first gained access to its system on September 9, 2023.
