Metro Public Adjustment, Inc. suffered a data breach on October 24–25, 2024, caused by an external hacking incident compromising its systems. The breach exposed the personal information of 2,060 individuals, including at least one resident of Rhode Island. While the exact type of data leaked was not specified in the report, the company’s response—offering 12 months of identity theft protection services—suggests the exposure likely included sensitive personal or financial details that could enable fraud or identity theft.The breach was discovered on November 13, 2024, nearly three weeks after the initial intrusion, indicating a delayed detection. Notifications to affected individuals were issued over a month later, on December 18, 2024, raising concerns about the timeliness of the response. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in the company’s cybersecurity defenses, particularly against external system breaches, and underscores the potential risks to customers whose data may now be exploited for malicious purposes.
