DISA Global Solutions reported a data breach affecting 3.3 million individuals, dating back to February 9, 2024. The breach was discovered in April 2024, posing serious risks of misuse of sensitive information including social security numbers and financial data. The company's delayed detection raises concerns, as individuals may remain unaware of their impacted status. Although DISA mentioned it took measures to secure the data post-breach, details about specific actions remain unclear. Insights from security experts emphasize the risks of compromised data and highlight the potential for misuse before detection.
The personal information contained in these files may have included name, social security number, driver's license number, other government ID numbers, financial account information, and other data elements.
The situation is particularly concerning because bad actors had ample time to misuse the vast amounts of compromised personal data, as the breach occurred in February 2024 and wasn't detected until that April.
