On January 19, 2024, CUSO discovered suspicious activity on its network and launched an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the breach. The investigation determined that an unauthorized third party accessed CUSO’s records between December 19, 2023, and January 19, 2024, and may have acquired certain information contained in the account. Affected consumers were not notified of the CUSO data breach until late October of 2024. CUSO discovered that hackers were able to compromise a significant amount of personal information. The compromised information includes a variety of highly sensitive details including:

• Name,
• Social Security number

The CUSO Data Breach Investigation

CUSO informed the Maine State Attorney General’s office of the breach, where a copy of the consumer notification letter can be found. All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous to affected victims. As is likely to be the case with the CUSO data breach, in previous data breaches, victims of data theft have noticed identity theft attempts ranging from fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards, to unauthorized credit card applications, to medical services or government services ordered in their name, to their information being posted on the dark web, to a massive uptick in the number of spam text messages, calls and emails received.
