Acme Press, Inc. dba Calitho

Acme Press, Inc. (operating as Calitho) disclosed a data breach on January 24, 2022, stemming from an incident around December 23, 2021. The breach exposed highly sensitive personal information of individuals, including names, Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, passport numbers, financial account details, and health insurance data.The compromised data poses severe risks, such as identity theft, financial fraud, and unauthorized access to medical services. Given the nature of the exposed records—particularly government-issued IDs (SSNs, passports, driver’s licenses) and financial/health data—the breach carries long-term repercussions for affected individuals, including potential credit damage, legal liabilities, and exploitation of health insurance credentials.The incident underscores a critical failure in safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII), with implications extending beyond financial harm to reputational erosion and regulatory scrutiny. The exposure of such comprehensive personal data heightens the likelihood of targeted phishing, account takeovers, and synthetic identity fraud, compounding the breach’s severity.
