WPS Reports Data Breach Impacting Sensitive Personal Information
WPS recently disclosed a data breach to the Massachusetts Attorney General, revealing that unauthorized access to its systems may have compromised sensitive personal identifiable information (PII). The incident was detected on September 12, 2025, when the company observed unusual activity on its network. An investigation confirmed that an unauthorized third party accessed the data on the same day.
The exposed information varies by individual but includes names, Social Security numbers, financial account details, and driver’s license information. WPS completed its review of the affected data and began mailing breach notification letters to impacted individuals on December 16, 2025. As part of its response, the company is offering complimentary credit monitoring services to those affected and has provided a breakdown of the specific data types exposed in its filing with Massachusetts authorities.
