Tavistock Development Company, LLC

On April 6, 2022, Tavistock Development Company, LLC experienced a data breach due to an external hacking incident, which was publicly reported by the Maine Attorney General's Office on October 3, 2022. The breach compromised sensitive personal information, specifically Social Security Numbers (SSNs), of approximately 7,100 individuals, including 10 Maine residents. The exposure of SSNs poses a significant risk of identity theft and financial fraud for the affected individuals. In response, the company offered 12 months of identity theft protection services through Kroll Essential Monitoring Services to mitigate potential harm. The breach highlights vulnerabilities in the company’s external systems, leading to unauthorized access and data exfiltration of highly sensitive personally identifiable information (PII).
