Dulcich Inc., operating as Pacific Seafood Group, suffered a cyberattack where an unauthorized actor accessed its internal network between **June 24–25, 2024**, compromising sensitive data of **40,066 individuals**. The breach exposed **personally identifiable information (PII)**—including names, Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, passports, and financial account details—as well as **protected health information (PHI)**, such as medical diagnoses, treatment records, and health insurance data. The company detected suspicious activity, launched an investigation with external cybersecurity experts, and disclosed the incident to affected individuals and regulatory bodies (e.g., Maine Attorney General) by **October 14, 2025**. Mitigation efforts included offering **12 months of free credit monitoring (Experian IdentityWorks)** to victims with exposed SSNs and establishing a dedicated response helpline. The breach poses risks of identity theft, financial fraud, and phishing attacks targeting the exposed individuals.
