On December 15, 2023, Chemonics International, Inc. (“Chemoncis”) detected suspicious activity on its computer network, indicating a data breach. Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, Chemonics determined that cybercriminals infiltrated its inadequately secured computer environment and thereby gained access to its data files between May 30, 2023 through January 9, 2024. The investigation further determined that, through this infiltration, cybercriminals accessed and copied files containing the sensitive personal information of tens of thousands of individuals.
The information exposed in the data breach includes, but is not limited to:
- Names
- Social Security numbers
- Dates of birth
- Driver’s license numbers
- Passport information
- Financial account information
- Health information
- Biometric information
- Addresses
- Email addresses
As a result of the 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.
Murphy Law Firm is investigating claims on behalf of all individuals whose personal and confidential information was potentially compromised in the Chemonics data breach. We are evaluating legal options, including a potential class action lawsuit, to recover damages for individuals who were affected by the data breach.
