Written by Console & Associates P.C. | Oct 1, 2024 6:30:00 AM

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Sono Bello data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Sono Bello, 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 Montana states that the Sono Bello data breach occurred due to a cyber security attack that was discovered when the company determined that an unauthorized party accessed one employee’s email account. Sono Bello launched an investigation that confirmed that between May 14, 2024 and May 16, 2024 the affected email account was accessed and contained confidential information belonging to individuals. It was also confirmed that there was no other compromise of the company’s IT network. Sono Bello reviewed the files to determine who was impacted and what information was compromised. While the breached information varies depending on the individual, it may include:

  • names
  • Social Security numbers

Data breach letters were sent out by Sono Bello on September 11, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
