What is the BankGloucester Data Breach All About?

Did You receive a data breach notice letter from BankGloucester? If so, your sensitive personal identifiable information may have been stolen and you may be owed compensation.

BankGloucester, based in Gloucester, Massachusetts, discovered on August 16, 2023, that confidential customer information had been exposed in a data breach. The hackers responsible for the security incident targeted a vendor of BankGloucester, Darling Consulting, which stored the data in their internal network. The information accessed by the hackers involved 19,283 BankGloucester and their customers' personal identifying information, as well as the following:

• Account Numbers,
• Credit Card Numbers,
• Security Codes,
• Passwords,
• PIN Numbers.

Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds. The theft of sensitive, protected health information, and personally identifiable information can lead to a host of issues for individuals who are the victims of data breaches that occurred in databases they were not even aware of. Typically, the individual that may have been hacked includes the following:

• Social Security Number,
• Financial Information,
• Protected Health Information,
• Medical Information,
• Other PII (Personally Identifiable Information)

Data breaches can also result in a long-term erosion of personal data privacy, as the hacked personally identifiable information may be traded or shared amongst cyber-criminals for years to come, on the internet, the dark web, or elsewhere.. This significantly increases the risk of further identity theft, financial fraud and massive headaches for consumers and victims.
