WHAT HAPPENED?
On October 2, 2024, ADT reported to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it had experienced a data breach in which the sensitive personal identifiable information in its systems may have been accessed and acquired. According to the breach notice, ADT recently detected unauthorized activity within its computer network, and discovered an unauthorized actor had illegally accessed its network using compromised credentials obtained through a third-party business partner.1 Upon becoming aware of the issue, ADT launched an investigation to determine the nature of the incident.
Based on its investigation to date, ADT believes the unauthorized actor exfiltrated certain encrypted internal ADT data associated with employee user accounts during the intrusion.1 ADT’s containment measures have resulted in some disruptions to its information systems, and its investigation is at an early stage and ongoing.1 As of October 8, 2024, the exact type of personal information potentially exposed has not been made publicly available by ADT.
