Description
On June 19, 2024, R. Zoppo Corp., a commercial entity based at 1150 Turnpike Street in Stoughton, Massachusetts, experienced an external system breach involving unauthorized hacking. The intrusion compromised personal identifiers—including names—of 540 individuals, two of whom were Maine residents. The breach remained undetected for nearly five months until its discovery on November 4, 2024. Marianne Brown, the company’s Controller, submitted breach details to Maine authorities, confirming the incident as a cybersecurity compromise without evidence of internal misconduct. No specific attacker methodologies, compromised systems, or data exfiltration vectors were disclosed in the notification. The delayed discovery timeline suggests prolonged unauthorized access prior to identification.
R. Zoppo Corp. initiated written notifications to affected individuals on December 23, 2024, distributing a formal notice titled "Exhibit_A_-_Adult_12_Month.pdf" to Maine residents. The company offered complimentary 12-month credit monitoring and identity protection services through TransUnion to all impacted persons, though the precise activation window for these services was unspecified. No prior breach notifications had been issued by the entity within the preceding 12 months. The breach’s operational consequences—such as financial losses, reputational damage, or regulatory penalties—were not detailed in the submission. The limited disclosure did not address whether forensic investigations identified attack origins or whether additional security measures were implemented post-incident.
