Through its investigation, Decks & Docks discovered that sensitive personal information in its systems may have been compromised by an unauthorized third party through two employee email accounts. One of the accounts was accessed between June 25, 2024, and August 13, 2024, and the second account was accessed between March 4, 2024, and August 21, 2024.1 As a result, Decks & Docks 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 Decks & Docks. However, according to state reporting guidelines, “personal information” can include the following types of information:
- Name
- Social Security number
