Greenfield Savings Bank (GSB) recently alerted customers to a data breach involving a third-party vendor.

Greenfield Savings Bank’s Data Breach Investigation
On August 14, 2025, Greenfield Savings Bank (GSB) was notified of a cybersecurity breach affecting its third-party marketing service provider. The incident occurred within the vendor’s systems, not GSB’s own internal network, and was quickly investigated by both the vendor and GSB. Following the discovery, the vendor worked with GSB to determine the scope of the breach and engaged cybersecurity experts for assistance.
Despite the third-party breach, GSB confirmed that no unauthorized activity was detected within its own internal systems. The data breach was isolated to the vendor’s environment, meaning that GSB’s security measures remained intact. However, the exposed information still raises significant concerns, given its sensitivity.
The breach primarily involved personal and financial data that may lead to identity theft or fraud if misused. As of now, there has been no evidence of actual misuse of the exposed data. However, GSB is continuing to monitor the situation and take the necessary steps to prevent similar incidents in the future.
In response to this breach, GSB is working closely with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement to ensure that appropriate measures are taken. The bank has also initiated a review of its relationship with the vendor and enhanced its third-party security management protocols to prevent further incidents.
