Data Breach Summary
Amtech Software, Inc. (Amtech) recently issued a data‑event notification indicating a cybersecurity incident that may have compromised the personal information of four Maine residents. This information belonged to individuals associated with Amtech’s customers using its integrated payroll product. They were among the few flagged in the initial review and outreach sequence.
According to their notice, on April 7, 2025, Amtech detected suspicious activity on its computer network. Immediate response measures included securing the network and launching a thorough investigation to determine what occurred and possibly identify affected data subjects. The investigation revealed that between March 11 and April 7, 2025, certain files may have been copied from their network.
Amtech has stated that this notice may be supplemented if new significant facts emerge. They also clarified that providing the notice does not waive any rights or defenses regarding the applicability of Maine law, the Maine data‑event notification statute, or any question of personal jurisdiction—ensuring their legal posture remains unchanged.
For individuals whose information was identified, Amtech is offering 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity‑theft protection, through TransUnion. However, enrollment requires action; individuals must follow the instructions in Amtech’s formal notice to activate these services.
Amtech’s review identified that the potentially impacted Maine residents had the following information in the compromised files:
Full name
Social Security number
Date of birth
