Quicken Inc.

On February 5, 2021, Quicken Inc. suffered a data breach reported by the Maine Office of the Attorney General. The incident involved the inadvertent disclosure of sensitive customer information, potentially exposing personal details of 540 individuals. The compromised data included financial account numbers, email addresses, and phone numbers, though the exact method of unauthorized access was not specified. While the breach did not explicitly mention large-scale financial fraud or systemic operational disruption, the exposure of financial account numbers poses a significant risk for identity theft, phishing attacks, or fraudulent transactions targeting affected customers. The company likely faced reputational damage and potential regulatory scrutiny due to the failure to safeguard customer data. No evidence suggested ransomware involvement or broader systemic impact beyond the disclosed personal information leak.
