Nice Pak Products, Inc.

Nice Pak Products, Inc. experienced a data breach between May 28, 2023, and June 15, 2023, where an unauthorized actor gained access to files containing sensitive personal information. The compromised data included the name and Social Security number (SSN) of at least one Maine resident, exposing them to potential identity theft or fraud. In response, the company is offering the affected individual a complimentary one-year credit monitoring service to mitigate risks. The breach was formally reported by the Maine Attorney General’s Office on September 28, 2023. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in Nice Pak’s data security measures, as the attacker successfully exfiltrated personally identifiable information (PII) without immediate detection. While the scope appears limited to a single individual in this report, the exposure of an SSN critical for financial and governmental authentication poses significant long-term risks for the victim, including unauthorized credit applications, tax fraud, or other malicious activities. The company’s proactive offer of credit monitoring suggests an acknowledgment of the severity, though the delay between the breach period and public disclosure (over three months) may raise concerns about transparency and incident response protocols.
