Data Breach at Readerlink Distribution Services, LLC

CRITICAL-77
REA032091825
The Maine Office of the Attorney General disclosed a data breach at Readerlink Distribution Services, LLC, occurring between June 3, 2020, and June 17, 2020, due to a malware attack. The incident compromised sensitive personal and financial data of 4,932 individuals, including 9 Maine residents. Exposed information included names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and W-2 wage/tax details, heightening risks of identity theft and financial fraud. The breach stemmed from unauthorized system access, likely facilitated by cybercriminals exploiting vulnerabilities or deploying malware. In response, Readerlink offered 12 months of identity theft protection via Kroll to affected individuals. The nature of the stolen data—particularly SSNs and tax records—suggests severe potential for long-term financial harm, fraudulent activity, and reputational damage to both the company and impacted individuals. The breach underscores systemic weaknesses in cybersecurity defenses, leaving employees and associated parties vulnerable to exploitation.
