Reading Time: 2 mins read
in Incidents

The Consortium for Worker Education recently informed its members of a data security incident involving a ransomware attack that potentially compromised personal information. The organization emphasized its commitment to protecting the security of its members’ information and addressed the concerns arising from the incident. While the attackers primarily aimed for financial gain, the Consortium alerted affected individuals that their personal data, such as names and Social Security numbers, may have been accessed during the breach.

Upon detecting suspicious activity, the Consortium promptly notified law enforcement and launched an investigation with the help of computer forensic experts. The investigation revealed that although the attackers did not specifically seek personal information, they may have accessed documents containing sensitive data. In response, the Consortium is implementing enhanced security measures and providing additional training to employees to mitigate the risk of future incidents.

To assist affected individuals, the Consortium is offering complimentary identity theft protection services through IDX, a firm specializing in data breach recovery. The services include 24 months of credit monitoring, CyberScan monitoring, and a reimbursement policy of up to $1,000,000 for identity theft. Individuals impacted by the incident are encouraged to enroll in these services to help safeguard their personal information against potential misuse.

The Consortium urges its members to remain vigilant and monitor their accounts for any suspicious activities. It also recommends taking additional precautions, such as placing fraud alerts on credit files. For further assistance or inquiries regarding the incident and the identity protection services offered, individuals can reach out to IDX directly for support.
