Havco Wood Products suffered a data breach affecting at least 13,507 individuals after detecting suspicious network activity on March 31, 2025. An unauthorized actor accessed and potentially exfiltrated files between March 30–31, 2025. A June 2025 review confirmed the compromise of personally identifiable information (PII), including names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers.The breach was disclosed to the Maine and Massachusetts Attorneys General in September 2025, with affected individuals notified via mail. Havco offered free one-year identity protection services (Experian IdentityWorks Credit 3B) and advised victims to monitor financial accounts, watch for phishing attempts, and consider fraud alerts or credit freezes. The incident highlights risks of identity theft, financial fraud, and long-term reputational harm due to exposed sensitive data.
