Censis Technologies, Inc.

On October 1, 2024, Censis Technologies, Inc. disclosed an external system breach (hacking) that originated on January 25, 2023, but was only detected on September 3, 2024. The incident compromised the personal data of 296 individuals, though the exact nature of the exposed information (e.g., financial, medical, or identity-related) was not explicitly detailed. In response, the company provided 24 months of free credit and identity monitoring services via Equifax, suggesting the breach may have involved sensitive personal or financial data. The delayed discovery nearly 20 months after the initial intrusion highlights potential gaps in cybersecurity monitoring. While the scale (296 individuals) is relatively small compared to mass breaches, the prolonged undetected access raises concerns about the extent of data exposure and potential misuse during that period.
