This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Goodwin Living, 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 Goodwin Living data breach occurred due to a cyber security attack that was discovered after the company determined there was unauthorized access to an employee email account. Goodwin Living launched an investigation that confirmed that between October 2, 2023 and October 18, 2023 an employee’s email account was accessed by an unauthorized party. Goodwin Living 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,
• addresses,
• phone numbers,
• email addresses,
• dates of birth,
• driver’s license numbers,

Data breach letters were sent out by Goodwin Living on September 12, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
