On September 4 and 5, 2020, T3 Micro, Inc. suffered an external system breach (hacking incident) that resulted in unauthorized access to credit/debit card information of 89 individuals, including at least one resident of Maine. The breach was reported to the Maine Office of the Attorney General on November 12, 2020. While the exact method of intrusion remains undisclosed, the incident highlights vulnerabilities in the company’s payment processing or data storage systems, exposing sensitive financial details of affected individuals. Such breaches often lead to fraudulent transactions, identity theft risks, or financial losses for victims. The relatively small number of impacted individuals (89) suggests a targeted or contained attack, but the exposure of payment card data—a high-value target for cybercriminals—underscores the severity of the incident in terms of financial and reputational harm. The delay in public disclosure (over two months) may further exacerbate trust issues with customers and regulatory bodies.

The California Office of the Attorney General reported a data breach involving T3 Micro Inc. on May 20, 2019. The breach was determined to have occurred between July 13, 2018, and March 17, 2019, and involved the compromise of credit and debit card information, including cardholder’s name, address, credit card number, expiration date, and CVV. The number of individuals affected is unknown.
