Western Ecosystems Technology Data Incident

Western Ecosystems Technology, Inc. recently notified its shareholders about a data security incident involving personal identifiable information (PII). In August 2024, the company, along with its tax preparation service provider, discovered that certain Oklahoma state tax forms containing shareholder PII had been mistakenly attached to an email sent to other company shareholders. The attachment, which included names, Social Security numbers, and specific tax-related details, was only sent to fellow shareholders and did not leave the company. No financial account details, such as bank account information, were part of the exposure.

The company has emphasized that the sensitive information was not sent to external parties, and the email was limited to individuals within the company. However, as a precautionary measure, Western Ecosystems Technology has taken steps to ensure similar incidents do not occur in the future. The company is currently reviewing its internal practices and working with its service provider to address any security vulnerabilities identified during the investigation.

To support those affected by the breach, the company is offering complimentary access to Experian IdentityWorks for two years, which will help individuals monitor their identity and detect potential misuse of their information. This service is available to individuals in states where Experian IdentityWorks is offered, with additional details and terms available on the company’s website. The company is fully committed to assisting affected shareholders and ensuring their data remains protected.

Western Ecosystems Technology reassured shareholders that protecting personal information is a top priority. The company remains focused on strengthening its security measures and enhancing its data protection practices. In addition to the offered identity protection services, shareholders are advised to stay vigilant, review financial statements, and monitor their credit reports for any signs of unusual activity to mitigate the risk of identity theft.
