WHAT HAPPENED?

Recently, Interra reported to the Attorney General of Maine that it had experienced a data breach in which sensitive personal identifiable information in its systems may have been accessed and acquired.

Through its investigation, Interra confirmed that sensitive personal information in its systems may have been viewed and obtained by an unauthorized third party through an employee email account between October 2 and October 9, 2024. As a result, Interra began a review of the data to determine what information had been impacted as well as identify the specific individuals affected. The exact type of personal information potentially exposed has not been made publicly available by Interra However, according to state reporting guidelines, “personal information” can include the following types of information:

  • Name
  • Social security number
  • Driver’s license or state identification card number
  • Account number, credit card number or debit card number, if circumstances exist wherein such a number could be used without additional identifying information, access codes or passwords
  • Account passwords or personal identification numbers or other access codes

 

On January 23, 2025, Interra began mailing data breach notification letters to impacted individuals. Based on the breach notice sent to Maine residents, Interra is providing affected individuals with a list of the specific types of sensitive information impacted and 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring services.
