Wojeski & Company

Wojeski & Company faced regulatory action from the New York Attorney General after two cybersecurity incidents exposed the private information of over 4,700 New Yorkers. The breach involved unauthorized access to sensitive personal data, though the exact nature of the compromised information (e.g., financial records, identification details) was not specified. The company failed to notify affected individuals for over a year, violating state breach notification laws, which mandate timely disclosure. The delay exacerbated potential risks, such as identity theft or fraud, for the victims. Wojeski & Company agreed to a $60,000 settlement to resolve the claims, highlighting regulatory scrutiny over inadequate incident response and compliance failures. The case underscores the legal and reputational consequences of mishandling data breaches, particularly in jurisdictions with strict privacy enforcement.
