EnCon

EnCon recently reported a data breach to the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, revealing that sensitive **Personally Identifiable Information (PII)** under its custody may have been compromised. The incident’s exact nature remains undisclosed, but the exposed data includes highly sensitive details such as **names and Social Security numbers (SSNs)**. The breach impacts individuals variably, with EnCon initiating notification letters on **November 19, 2025**, to affected parties. As a remedial measure, the company is offering **24 months of complimentary credit monitoring services** to mitigate potential identity theft or financial fraud risks. The breach underscores a significant failure in safeguarding critical personal data, raising concerns over long-term reputational damage, regulatory scrutiny, and potential legal liabilities. The lack of transparency regarding the attack vector (e.g., phishing, system vulnerability, or external hack) further complicates risk assessment for stakeholders.
