1808 ET - Unlike some other high-profile cybersecurity incidents in recent months, the Advance Auto Part breach is hitting employees. Advance says it believes the files accessed in the breach contained Social Security numbers and other government identification numbers of current and former job applicants and employees. Customers have been largely on the hook elsewhere. The significant UnitedHealth breach affected processing systems and customer pharmacies and hospitals, while Live Nation reported that data taken in a recent incident was primarily user data from Ticketmaster. Advance Auto Parts, a chain of car-parts sellers, employed about 40,000 full-time workers and 29,000 part-time workers as of Dec. 30.(ben.glickman@wsj.com; @benglickman)
