Fortis Solutions Group, a packaging solutions company based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, reported a data breach to the Attorney General of Maine on February 14, 2024. The breach involved unauthorized access to a limited number of employee email accounts, which raised concerns about the potential exposure of sensitive personal identifiable information. In response to the incident, Fortis launched an investigation to understand the scope of the breach and determine what data, if any, had been compromised.
Through its investigation, Fortis discovered that the unauthorized access occurred between January 5 and January 25, 2024. The company found that personal information stored within its systems may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party during this time. Fortis then began a comprehensive review to determine the exact types of personal data affected and identify the individuals whose information was compromised.
While the specific details of the compromised data have not been publicly disclosed, state reporting guidelines indicate that personal information typically includes names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account details, and other sensitive identifiers. Fortis completed the review of the impacted data on December 20, 2025, and began notifying affected individuals on February 18, 2025, offering them complimentary credit monitoring services for one year.
Fortis Solutions Group, founded in 1979, serves a wide range of industries, including food, beverage, nutraceuticals, automotive, and more. The company employs over 1,300 people across its manufacturing and sales offices in the U.S. and Canada. As the investigation continues, Fortis is committed to providing affected individuals with additional information about the breach and taking steps to improve its data security measures moving forward.
