**Portland, ME – October 28, 2024** – DISA Global Solutions, Inc., a provider of employment screening services, announced a significant data breach affecting over 3.3 million individuals. The company discovered unauthorized access to its systems between February 9th and April 22nd, 2024. While DISA’s investigation couldn’t definitively determine the exact data compromised, the potentially exposed information includes names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, other government IDs, financial account information, and other personal data.
Affected individuals were notified on Friday, October 25th. DISA stated that it is unaware of any misuse of the stolen information and has since contained the breach, contacted law enforcement, and implemented enhanced security measures.
