NSi Industries LLC suffered an external system breach between January 13–16, 2023, compromising the personal information of 671 individuals, including at least one Maine resident. The exposed data included names, financial account numbers, and Social Security numbers highly sensitive details that significantly elevate risks of identity theft, financial fraud, and long-term reputational harm. While the breach did not involve ransomware or a full-scale operational shutdown, the leak of financial and personally identifiable information (PII) poses severe threats to affected individuals, potentially leading to fraudulent transactions, credit damage, or targeted phishing attacks. In response, NSi offered 12 months of free credit monitoring and identity restoration services via Experian, acknowledging the severity of the exposure. The incident underscores vulnerabilities in data protection measures, particularly for a company handling sensitive customer and employee records.
