MJH Life Sciences

MJH Life Sciences

On August 11, 2022, the Maine Office of the Attorney General disclosed a data breach at MJH Life Sciences, stemming from unauthorized access by an external actor on February 26, 2022. The incident compromised the personal information of 2,705 individuals, including four Maine residents, whose names and Social Security Numbers (SSNs) were exposed. While the breach did not involve financial data or large-scale operational disruption, the exposure of SSNs—a highly sensitive identifier—poses significant risks, including identity theft, fraud, and long-term financial harm to affected individuals. In response, MJH Life Sciences offered two years of credit monitoring services to mitigate potential damages. The breach highlights vulnerabilities in third-party data security and the persistent threat of external cyber intrusions targeting personally identifiable information (PII).
