Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is involved in the Montlick & Associates (“Montlick”) data breach investigation, for a breach that affected approximately 138,515 individuals and their personal information.
On October 7, 2024, Montlick discovered suspicious activity on its network and launched an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the breach. The forensic investigation confirmed that the third party accessed Montlick’s computer systems. Montlick discovered that the data breach occurred between August 8, 2024, and August 15, 2024. Affected consumers were not notified of the Montlick data breach until November 4, 2024. Montlick 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:
- Names,
- Address,
- Date of birth,
- Social security numbers
The Montlick Data Breach
Montlick 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 Montlick 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.
