Written by Console & Associates P.C. | Oct 4, 2024 6:30:00 AM

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Find Great People data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Find Great People, which may have affected as many as 12,205 individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

 

What Happened?

A recent report from the Attorney General of Maine states that the Find Great People data breach occurred due to a cyber security attack that was discovered on July 19, 2024 after the company experienced a network disruption impacting the company’s IT network. FGP launched an investigation that is ongoing but confirmed that from July 2, 2024 to July 19, 2024 an unauthorized party accessed files on their IT network that may have contained confidential information. Find Great People 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,
  • addresses,
  • dates of birth,
  • Social Security numbers,
  • driver’s license numbers,
  • passports,
  • health insurance policy numbers,
  • financial account numbers,
  • and medical information

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