What Caused the Data Breach Affecting Frax Outsourcing?

The Frax Outsourcing data breach was only recently announced, and more information is expected in the near future. However, Frax’s filing with the Attorney General of California provides some important information on what led up to the breach. According to this source, Frax recently learned that the company had been the victim of a cyberattack. In response, Frax launched an investigation with the help of third-party experts in hopes of determining what, if any, confidential consumer information was compromised.

The Frax investigation revealed that certain employee email accounts, as well as a SharePoint drive, were subject to unauthorized access. It was also confirmed that some of the files that were accessible to the unauthorized party contained confidential consumer information. Frax believes the period of unauthorized access was between November 2, 2022 and November 15, 2022.

After learning that sensitive consumer data was accessible to an unauthorized party, Frax Outsourcing reviewed the compromised files to determine what information was leaked and which consumers were impacted. Frax completed this process on June 19, 2023. While the breached information varies depending on the individual, it may include your name, Social Security number, address, medical information, driver’s license number, and financial account information.

On September 21, 2023, Frax Outsourcing sent out data breach letters to anyone who was affected by the recent data security incident. These letters should provide victims with a list of what information belonging to them was compromised.
