Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is involved in the Northwoods League data breach investigation that affected approximately 26,493 individuals and their personal information.
On April 1, 2024, Northwoods League discovered suspicious activity on its network and launched an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the breach. The investigation determined that Northwoods League network was subject to unauthorized access beginning on April 1, 2024, and that certain files were acquired by an unknown actor while on the network. Affected consumers were not notified of the Northwoods League data breach until September 9, 2024. Northwoods League discovered that hackers were able to compromise a significant amount of personal information. The compromised information includes a variety of highly sensitive details, possibly including:
- name,
- financial account information,
- date of birth,
- credit card number
The Northwoods League Data Breach Investigation
Northwoods League informed the Maine Attorney General’s office of the breach and provided a copy of a data breach notification letter. All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous to affected victims. As is likely to be the case with the Northwoods League data breach, in previous data breaches, victims of data theft have noticed identity theft attempts ranging from fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards, to unauthorized credit card applications, to medical services or government services ordered in their name, to their information being posted on the dark web, to a massive uptick in the number of spam text messages, calls and emails received.
