Holland America Line

Holland America Line

Holland America Line had a data breach which compromised employee and guest personal information.

In late May 2019, a series of deceptive emails were sent to employees that resulted in unauthorized third-party access to some employee email accounts.

Holland America Line was shut down to prevent further unauthorized access.

The unauthorized third-party access compromsed certain email accounts containing employee and guest personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, government identification numbers, such as passport numbers, national identity card numbers, credit card, and financial account information, and health-related information.
