**Portland, ME –** A major data breach at DISA Global Solutions, a leading US employee screening company, has exposed the sensitive personal information of over 3.3 million individuals. The company, which provides background checks and drug testing for numerous Fortune 500 companies, confirmed the breach in a recent filing with the Maine and Massachusetts Attorney Generals’ offices.
The cyberattack, which occurred on February 9th, 2024, went undetected for over two months. DISA only discovered the breach on April 22nd following an internal investigation. While the company acknowledges that sensitive data, including credit card and financial account details, and government-issued identification documents, was accessed, the full extent of the compromised information remains unclear.
Over 360,000 Massachusetts residents and 15,198 Maine residents are among those affected. The breach impacts individuals whose data was processed by DISA for background checks and other employment screening services. The company serves over 55,000 enterprises, representing a significant portion of the US business landscape.
DISA has not yet disclosed details about the nature of the attack or the vulnerabilities exploited. The identity of the perpetrators also remains unknown. The incident raises serious concerns about data security within the employee screening industry and the potential for widespread identity theft and financial fraud. Affected individuals are urged to monitor their accounts for suspicious activity and take appropriate preventative measures.
