In the form breach notice, First Analysis does not elaborate on the nature of the security incident that impacted its systems. Additionally, the exact type of personal information potentially exposed has not been made publicly available by First Analysis. However, according to state reporting guidelines, “personal information” can include the following types of information:
- Name
- Social Security number
- Driver’s license or state-issued identification card number
- Financial account number, or credit or debit card number, with or without any required security code, access code, personal identification number or password, that would permit access to a resident’s financial account
As a result of the data breach, First Analysis began mailing data breach notification letters to impacted individuals. Based on the breach notice sent to Massachusetts residents, First Analysis is providing affected individuals with a list of the specific types of sensitive information impacted and 24 months of credit monitoring services. A link to the form breach notification letters that First Analysis filed with the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is below.
