Ahtna, Inc.’s Data Breach Investigation

Ahtna, Inc., an Alaska Native corporation involved in construction, government contracting, and other operations, disclosed a significant data security incident involving the unauthorized access and exfiltration of personal data. On July 28, 2025, Ahtna detected suspicious activity in its network and immediately acted to contain the breach. External cybersecurity professionals were engaged to investigate the event and determine the scope of exposure.

The investigation revealed that between April 20 and June 1, 2025, an unauthorized third party gained access to certain systems and acquired files containing sensitive personal information. After a comprehensive review of the compromised files, Ahtna concluded on October 22, 2025, that they contained identifiable personal information belonging to 8,341 individuals, including at least one Maine resident.

Following the breach, Ahtna has taken steps to strengthen its cybersecurity protocols, review internal practices, and notify affected individuals. To help mitigate potential harm, the company is offering 12 months of free credit monitoring and identity restoration services through Experian.
