Our firm has concluded its investigation into this matter and is not currently accepting new clients. Thank you for considering Console & Associates, P.C.
At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Newport Group data breach. This breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Infosys McCamish, 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 Newport Group was compromised due to a cyber security attack at its vendor, Infosys McCamish. On November 2, 2023, Infosys McCamish was hit with a ransomware attack prompting the company to immediately disconnect the vendor's systems and launch an investigation. It was confirmed that unauthorized parties accessed certain Newport Group information stored on the Infosys McCamish systems. Data breach letters were sent out by Newport Group on February 16, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
Newport Group, Inc., headquartered in Walnut Creek, CA, offers recordkeeping, plan administration, consulting, and other financial services. In 2022, Newport merged with Ascensus, a Pennsylvania recordkeeping and third-party administrator company.
