Pacific Seafood Group, a major North American seafood processing and distribution company, suffered a data breach in June 2024 when an unauthorized threat actor accessed its network between June 24 and June 25. The breach exposed sensitive personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, and protected health information (PHI) of 40,066 individuals, including names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license/state ID/passport details, financial account information, medical diagnoses, treatment records, and health insurance data. The company began notifying affected individuals in October 2025 and reported the incident to the Maine Attorney General’s office. The breach poses significant risks of identity theft, financial fraud, and medical privacy violations, with potential long-term consequences for victims. Pacific Seafood offered 12 months of free credit monitoring via Experian IdentityWorks, but affected individuals may pursue legal action for compensation, including reimbursement for expenses, time spent mitigating harm, and emotional distress.
