At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent GardaWorld Cash 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 California states that the GardaWorld Cash was compromised due to a cyber security attack. The company learned that it had been the victim of a cybersecurity incident on November 16, 2023 where an unauthorized party was able to access files stored on its computer network. GardaWorld Cash launched an investigation that confirmed that an unauthorized party was able to access certain files on its system between October 30, 2023 and November 16, 2023 and also, remove some files containing confidential consumer information. Data breach letters were sent out by GardaWorld Cash on March 22, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
Based in Quebec, Canada, GardaWorld Cash is a division of GardaWorld, a business services company that focuses on providing cash-management solutions to companies, including Cash Vault Services, ATM management, secure transit, cash automation, and forecasting solutions.
