Through its investigation, NCH confirmed that sensitive personal information in its Oracle EBS application may have been accessed and acquired by an unauthorized third party in mid-August. As a result, NCH began a review of the data to determine what information had been impacted as well as identify the specific individuals affected. While the information impacted varies depending on the individual, the type of information potentially exposed includes:
- Name
