At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Byline Bank data breach. This breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident, which may have affected an unknown number of individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal information.
A recent report from the Attorney General of Massachusetts states that the Byline Bank was compromised due to a cyber security attack that was discovered after an unauthorized actor was able to access a small number of employee email accounts. An investigation confirmed that confidential consumer information had been subject to unauthorized access. Data breach letters were sent out by Byline Bank on May 23, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
Based in Chicago, Illinois, Byline Bank is a financial institution operating more than 55 branches.
