At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Iannuzzi Manetta & Co. data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a ransomware attack that encrypted the company's network, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information of current and former customers.

 

What Happened?

A recent report from the Maine Attorney General's office states that the Iannuzzi Manetta & Co. data breach occurred due to a ransomware attack that encrypted their computer network on August 1, 2024. The incident caused a shutdown of company operations, prompting immediate response from their IT team and external cybersecurity experts. While systems were restored by August 8, 2024, the investigation continued until November 18, 2024, when the full scope of the compromise was determined. The compromised information includes:

  • Names
  • Driver's license numbers
  • Social Security Numbers
  • Health insurance policy information
  • Medical record numbers
  • Patient account numbers
  • Financial account numbers

Data breach letters were sent out by Iannuzzi Manetta & Co. on January 17, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
