In early October 2023, Recht Kornfeld identified suspicious activity involving two employee email accounts. They promptly secured the accounts and launched an investigation to assess the extent of the breach. Although the investigation could not definitively determine what personal information was compromised, by June 13, 2024, it was established that the breach may have affected a Maine resident’s personal details, potentially including names and driver’s license or state ID numbers.
Recht Kornfeld’s investigation revealed that unauthorized access was gained to two email accounts, which might have included messages or attachments containing personal information. Despite the thorough review of potentially affected files, the exact impact on personal data remains unclear. On April 23, 2024, the investigation concluded, and the firm began identifying and contacting affected individuals.
The firm has taken several measures in response to the breach, including notifying the Federal Bureau of Investigation and enhancing security protocols to prevent future incidents. They are offering complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services through IDX, a ZeroFox Company. This includes credit and CyberScan monitoring, a $1,000,000 insurance reimbursement policy, and identity theft recovery services.
Recht Kornfeld is committed to safeguarding personal information and assisting affected individuals through the provision of these services. The firm encourages those impacted to utilize the offered protections and to remain vigilant against potential misuse of their information.
