On March 31, 2016, Avention experienced two security incidents involving unauthorized access to employee data. The first incident resulted from compromised login credentials to a human resources vendor's system. This breach led to the theft of I-9 forms containing names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and government identification details. The second incident stemmed from an employee falling victim to a phishing attack. The phishing attack resulted in the exposure of W-2 statements with similar personal and financial information. Both breaches were discovered only after employees reported issues with fraudulent tax filings. In response, Avention initiated an internal investigation, engaged a cybersecurity firm, notified law enforcement, and alerted affected current and former employees. Credit monitoring services were offered to impacted individuals as part of the remediation effort. The breaches exclusively compromised employee data and did not affect customer information or commercial services.
