On July 17, 2024, Loumar Inc. informed the Attorney General of Massachusetts about a data breach that affected the security of data on its computer network. The breach involved unauthorized access to sensitive consumer information, including names, Social Security numbers, financial account details, driver’s license numbers, medical information, health information, and dates of birth. Loumar began notifying affected individuals and took steps to address the breach.
The incident was first detected on December 15, 2023, when Loumar noticed suspicious activity within its network. In response, the company took immediate action to contain the breach, informed law enforcement, and initiated an investigation. The investigation confirmed unauthorized access to the network between December 4, 2023, and December 14, 2023.
Through the investigation, Loumar determined that the unauthorized party had access to confidential information belonging to affected individuals. The company reviewed the compromised data to assess the extent of the breach and identify the impacted individuals. This included personal and sensitive information that may have been exposed.
Following the investigation, Loumar sent data breach notification letters to all individuals whose information was affected. These letters provide details about the compromised information and inform recipients about the breach. Loumar has also taken measures to enhance its security protocols to prevent future incidents.
