Profile

Laufer Group International operates under that alias as its primary business name. The organization is headquartered in the United States of America. Little public detail is available about its core products or services. Consequently, the organization's market focus and industry sector are not described in the available sources.

On February 16, 2018, the company experienced an email spoofing incident. An attacker impersonated the chief executive officer in fraudulent emails. The spoofed messages requested the release of 2017 W-2 forms for employees. Approximately 240 current and former employees had their W-2 information targeted. The compromised data included names, addresses, Social Security numbers, wage information, and tax withholding details.

Laufer Group International discovered the breach on the same day it occurred. The organization promptly notified the affected individuals. It also alerted relevant authorities, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service, and state tax agencies. In response, the company offered complimentary identity theft protection services to those whose data was exposed. The investigation confirmed that no banking information, dates of birth, driver's license numbers, or health records were accessed during the incident. These actions constituted the organization's documented response to the email spoofing attack.
