Southeastern Financial

The Maine Office of the Attorney General reported that Southeastern Financial experienced a data breach on April 14, 2022, caused by unauthorized access to an employee's email account, impacting approximately 7,237 individuals. The compromised information may have included personal details such as names, addresses, dates of birth, driver's license numbers, financial account numbers, and Social Security numbers. Southeastern Financial has since offered identity theft protection services through Kroll for one year.
