Millenia Investments, LLC suffered a data breach due to unauthorized access to an employee’s email account, discovered on July 13, 2021. The incident exposed sensitive personal information of 1,689 individuals, including financial account numbers, heightening risks of identity theft and fraud. While the breach was detected months prior, notification letters were only dispatched to affected parties on February 7, 2022, accompanied by a one-year identity theft protection service via IDX. The delay in disclosure and the nature of the compromised data particularly financial records suggest potential exploitation for fraudulent activities, reputational harm, and regulatory scrutiny. The breach underscores vulnerabilities in email security protocols and the broader implications of third-party access to sensitive corporate systems.
