The Suburban Collection experienced a data breach where unauthorized actors gained access to their network between July 4 and July 16, 2020. The intrusion was discovered and reported on March 4, 2021, after an investigation confirmed that certain files and folders had been exfiltrated. While the exact number of affected individuals and the specific types of compromised personal information remain undisclosed, the breach suggests potential exposure of sensitive data. The delayed detection and reporting spanning over eight months raises concerns about the extent of the breach and the effectiveness of the company’s cybersecurity measures. The incident highlights risks to personal data, though the full scope of financial, reputational, or operational damage remains unclear pending further disclosures.
