It could be account information from partnerships e.g. bundles, old customers, subsidiary companies, or something else entirely.
Your guess is as good as mine.

Basically this data included customer details on 36 million customers, and Xfinity only has 32 million active customers...
They've already admitted it includes all plaintext customer details (names, address, last 4 SSN, etc.), and their password hashes, but no info on what hashing function was used to make them, or if they were salted.
This is just what they've admitted. Who wants to place bets on whether they also got all the customer data that shouldn't be legal to collect, but is e.g. browsing habits, traffic analysis, user/household metadata?
Thanks for confirming that I'm still safe getting my political guidance from the same place I keep up to date on all of the revolutionary breakthroughs in advanced water drinking and breathing techniques.
