Data Breach Incident Details

 A recent report from the Attorney General of Maine states that the UNITE HERE was compromised due to a cyber security attack when an unauthorized party gained access to parts of their computer system on October 20, 2023. This prompted the company to take steps to secure their systems and launch an investigation. It was confirmed that confidential data belonging to members and staff of certain UNITE HERE local unions, health funds, and the San Diego UNITE HERE Pension Fund was accessed without authorization. UNITE HERE handles employment, health, welfare, and pension data on behalf of these affiliated organizations. Data breach letters were sent out by UNITE HERE on February 23, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
