At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent InterCon Construction data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at InterCon Construction, which has affected 6,634 individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

 

What Happened?

A recent filing with the Maine Attorney General's office stated that the InterCon Construction data breach occurred due to unauthorized network access. The security incident was discovered on November 19, 2024, when InterCon Construction detected suspicious activity on their computer systems. The company responded by notifying law enforcement and implementing additional security measures. The investigation revealed that the unauthorized access occurred between November 9, 2024, and November 20, 2024, with confirmation of data exposure coming on December 6, 2024. The compromised information includes:

  • Names
  • Social Security numbers

Data breach letters were sent out by InterCon Construction on January 30, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and their specific compromised data.

 

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach

  1. Monitor all accounts and credit reports closely
    1. Set up alerts for suspicious activity
    2. Review all financial statements thoroughly
    3. Request free credit reports and examine them for unauthorized entries

  2. Consider freezing your credit
    1. Contact all three major credit bureaus to place a freeze
    2. Understand this prevents new accounts from being opened in your name
    3. Remember to temporarily lift the freeze when applying for legitimate credit

  3. Look out for phishing attempts using information from the InterCon Construction data breach
    1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from InterCon Construction
    2. Don't click on suspicious links or download unexpected attachments
    3. Verify all communications through official channels

  4. Change passwords for affected accounts
    1. Create strong, unique passwords for each account
    2. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
    3. Consider using a password manager for better security

  5. Enable two-factor authentication where possible
    1. Add this extra layer of security to all important accounts
    2. Use authenticator apps rather than SMS when available
    3. Keep backup codes in a secure location
