Carnival (CCL) is under investigation following an April data breach that compromised personal information of about 6 million people, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement Monday.

On April 14, Carnival's security team determined that social engineering techniques were used to deceive an employee and the unauthorized actor gained access to consumers' personal information, according to the statement.

Carnival submitted a data breach notification to the Office of the Attorney General 44 days after the breach, indicating that 800,060 Texas consumers were affected by the breach, per the statement.

Carnival did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
