Doosan Fuel Cell America, Inc.

On January 3, 2021, Doosan Fuel Cell America, Inc. experienced a data breach due to external system hacking, as reported by the Maine Office of the Attorney General on April 9, 2021. The incident compromised the Social Security Numbers (SSNs) of 1,989 individuals, including at least one resident of Connecticut. The breach exposed highly sensitive personal information, posing significant risks such as identity theft, financial fraud, and long-term reputational harm to the affected individuals. Given the nature of the stolen data (SSNs), the breach carries severe implications for both the victims and the company, potentially leading to regulatory scrutiny, legal liabilities, and erosion of customer trust. The attack was executed by external actors, indicating a targeted cyber intrusion rather than an internal vulnerability or accidental exposure.
