Graphique De France LTD

Graphique De France LTD suffered a data breach between September 20, 2024, and October 6, 2024, where unauthorized actors gained access to sensitive personal information. The compromised data included names and Social Security numbers, affecting 352 individuals, including at least one Maine resident. While the scale of the breach was relatively contained, the exposure of Social Security numbers a high-value target for identity theft and fraud poses significant long-term risks for the victims. The company responded by offering 12 months of complimentary identity protection services via IDX, likely as a mitigating measure to address potential financial and reputational harm. The breach did not involve ransomware, mass financial fraud, or systemic operational disruption, but the leak of personally identifiable information (PII) of customers aligns with incidents where sensitive data is exposed without broader organizational collapse or geopolitical consequences.
