Featured Image

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent CKS Packaging data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at CKS Packaging, which may have affected an undetermined number of individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

 

What Happened? 

A recent report from the Attorney General of Massachusetts states that the CKS Packaging data breach occurred due to a cyber security attack that was discovered on December 22, 2023 after the company detected unauthorized activity within its IT network. CKS launched an investigation that confirmed that an unauthorized party accessed files on the company’s IT network containing confidential information belonging to certain individuals. CKS Packaging reviewed the files to determine which consumers were impacted and what information was compromised. While the breached information varies depending on the individual, it may include:

  • names,
  • Social Security numbers,
  • driver’s license numbers,
  • financial account information,
  • medical information,
  • and health insurance information

Data breach letters were sent out by CKS Packaging on October 1, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
