A recent report from the Attorney General of Massachusetts states that the Anixter Center was compromised due to a cyber security attack after it was discovered on July 17, 2023 after the company detected suspicious activity within an employee email account. An investigation confirmed on November 14, 2023 that the affected email accounts contained patients’ protected health information. Data breach letters were sent out by Anixter Center on May 23, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
