Friday, July 26, 2024
Syracuse, NY - July 19, 2024 - Bousquet Holstein PLLC ("Bousquet Holstein") is notifying certain individuals of a data security incident that may impact the privacy of a limited amount of personal information. Bousquet Holstein is unaware of any misuse of individual information and is providing notice to potentially affected individuals out of an abundance of caution.
In September 2023, Bousquet Holstein became aware of suspicious activity occurring on an employee's computer system. Upon learning of the suspicious activity, Bousquet Holstein quickly took steps to confirm the security of its systems and with the assistance of external cybersecurity specialists, undertook a comprehensive investigation to determine the full nature, scope, and impact of the activity. As part of initial response efforts, Bousquet Holstein also promptly notified federal law enforcement. The investigation determined that an unauthorized actor gained access to certain Bousquet Holstein computer systems between September 25, 2023, and September 27, 2023, and during that period, the actor likely accessed and acquired certain files. With the assistance of data analytics specialists, Bousquet Holstein subsequently conducted a thorough and time-consuming review of the files likely affected to determine whether they contained any sensitive information and to whom the information relates. Because this review was unable to locate full contact information for potentially affected individuals, Bousquet Holstein conducted a subsequent review to identify mailing addresses for notification. Upon completion of this review, Bousquet Holstein worked to notify affected individuals.
Bousquet Holstein has no indication that the data affected by this incident has been used to commit any identity theft, fraud, or other harm to individuals. However, Bousquet Holstein is providing notice of this incident out of an abundance of caution because the information that is present in the affected files may include individuals' names, Social Security numbers, date of birth, driver's license or state identification card numbers, passport information, financial account information, medical information, payment card information, taxpayer identification numbers, and health insurance information.
Bousquet Holstein treats its responsibility to safeguard information in its possession as an utmost priority. Upon learning of this incident, Bousquet Holstein promptly took steps to secure its systems, began a comprehensive investigation, and have been working diligently to provide individuals with an accurate and complete notice. As part of the commitment to the privacy and security of personal information in its care, Bousquet Holstein is reviewing and enhancing its existing policies and procedures relating to data protection and security on an ongoing basis, as necessary. Bousquet Holstein has also implemented additional security measures to mitigate risk associated with this incident and to help prevent similar future incidents. Bousquet Holstein is also providing notice of this incident to potentially impacted individuals and to regulators where required.
Bousquet Holstein sincerely regrets any inconvenience this incident may have caused. Although there is no evidence of any actual or attempted misuse of personal information, as a general best practice, Bousquet Holstein encourages individuals to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing account statements and monitoring free credit reports for suspicious activity over the next 12 to 24 months. Any questionable activity detected should be reported to the associated insurance company, health care provider, or financial institution immediately.
