On July 8, 2024, the Maine Office of the Attorney General reported a data breach involving General Motors (GM) that occurred between May 18, 2024, and May 20, 2024, affecting 65 GM MyAccounts, including two Maine residents. The breach involved unauthorized logins likely using compromised credentials from external sites, potentially exposing limited personal information such as names, addresses, and last four digits of payment cards, though no evidence indicates GM's login information was obtained.
