On August 16, 2024, OBI Seafoods, LLC (“OBI Seafoods”) detected suspicious activity on its computer network, indicating a data breach. Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, OBI Seafoods determined that cybercriminals infiltrated its inadequately secured computer environment and thereby gained access to its data files. The investigation further determined that, through this infiltration, cybercriminals potentially accessed and acquired files containing the sensitive personal information of thousands of individuals, including current and former employees and vendors of OBI Seafoods and Ocean Beauty Seafoods, LLC (“OBS”).
The information exposed in the data breach includes, but is not limited to:
- Names
- Social Security numbers
- Dates of birth
- Financial account information
- Driver’s license numbers
- Government-issued ID numbers

As a result of the OBI Seafoods data breach, these individuals’ personal and highly confidential information may be in the hands of cybercriminals who can place the information for sale on the dark web or use the information to perpetrate identity fraud.
