At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Goodwill Industries of Greater NY and Northern NJ, Inc. d/b/a GoodTemps (“GoodTemps”) 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 GoodTemps was compromised due to a cyber security attack that was discovered after suspicious activity was recently detected within the company’s computer network. An investigation confirmed that an unauthorized actor was able to access portions of its computer network. Data breach letters were sent out by GoodTemps informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
GoodTemps is the temporary staffing division of Goodwill Industries of Greater NY and Northern NJ, Inc. that specializes in placing a range of employees.
