DISA Data Disaster: 3.3 Million Personal Records Exposed in Ransomware Fiasco
DISA Global Solutions, a data broker offering drug and alcohol testing, just informed over 3.3 million folks that their sensitive info might have been snagged by cyber-criminals. The breach happened in February 2024, but wasn’t discovered until April. That’s some retroactive ransomware comedy, starring your worst nightmare: leaked drug test results!
Hot Take:
What do you get when you mix 3.3 million stolen identities, a year-old breach, and a company that’s slower to respond than a snail on a treadmill? A DISA-ster of epic proportions! Someone call the cyber police because this data breach reads like a ‘How Not to Protect Personal Information’ manual.
Key Points:
- DISA Global Solutions’ breach affected over 3.3 million people, with sensitive data potentially stolen.
- The breach was discovered in April 2024, over two months after it occurred in February 2024.
- Compromised information includes names, social security numbers, and possibly drug testing results.
- Details about whether a ransom was paid or further security measures taken remain unclear.
- Victims may not know they were affected due to indirect interaction with DISA.
