Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is involved in the Alta Resources Corp. data breach investigation that affected 37,363 individuals and their personal information.
On or about November 18, 2023, Alta Resources Corp. discovered encrypted files on certain computer systems. The company launched an investigation that determined unauthorized access occurred on November 17, 2023 and November 18, 2023. Affected consumers were not notified of the Alta Resources Corp. data breach until December 20, 2024–more than a year after the unauthorized access occurred. Alta Resources Corp. discovered that hackers were able to compromise a significant amount of personal information. The compromised information includes a variety of highly sensitive details including:
- Name,
- Social Security number,
- Financial account information,
- Health insurance information,
- Taxpayer identification number,
- health & medical information, and
- Other government issued identification number
The Alta Resources Corp. Data Breach Investigation
Alta Resources Corp. informed the Maine State Attorney General’s office of the breach, where a copy of the consumer notification letter can be found. All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous to affected victims. As is likely to be the case with the Alta Resources Corp. 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.
