Dish Data Breach Investigation Largely Complete, Says CEO

Dish Network has largely completed the investigation of a data breach that’s the subject of a lawsuit (docket 1:23-cv-00734) in the U.S. District Court for Colorado in Denver (see 2303240002), CEO Erik Carlson said on a Dish earnings call Monday. Customer databases weren’t accessed in the incident, though employee information was, Carlson said. “We’ve taken steps to protect the affected records and personal information,” he said. The extracted data was deleted, he said, noting Dish has no indication the data was misused. “Data security is extremely important to us,” he said. The company incurred about $30 million in costs, he said.
