In early 2024, Western Electrical Contractors Association, Inc. (“WECA”) identified suspicious activity on certain computer systems within its network. During the subsequent investigation into the occurrence, WECA determined that a cybercriminal had accessed and may have copied employee files containing their personally identifiable information between January 21, 2024, and January 22, 2024. The compromised information includes, but is not limited, the following highly sensitive data:
- Full Names
- Social Security Numbers
- Driver’s License Numbers
The Western Electrical Contractors Association, Inc. Data Breach
The Western Electrical Contractors Association, Inc. recently sent a notice letter to affected employees informing them of the data breach. All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous to affected victims. As is likely to be the case with the WECA 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.
