A notable event in the organisation’s recent history occurred on 29 May 2023, when BCD Travel USA LLC experienced an external system breach that resulted in the unauthorized acquisition of personal information, including names combined with financial account or credit card numbers, security codes, and passwords. Affected individuals were notified and offered one year of complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services through Experian, with the incident impacting a significant number of people, including a small number of Maine residents. This breach underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures within the travel and events sector, where handling sensitive traveller data is a routine aspect of operations. The organisation continues to provide its core travel and event management services while addressing the lessons learned from this security incident.
