NESCTC Security Agency’s Data Breach Investigation
On or around April 14, 2025, NESCTC discovered it had been the target of a cybersecurity attack. An unauthorized third party attempted to infiltrate the company’s network, which led to the potential exposure of personal information. Upon detecting the breach, NESCTC immediately took steps to secure the network, notify law enforcement, and launch a full investigation with the help of independent IT security and forensic experts.
The investigation confirmed that the breach may have compromised a variety of personal data, although NESCTC has found no evidence that any of the exposed information has been misused to date. The affected data includes sensitive details such as names, addresses, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, financial account numbers, and Social Security numbers (SSNs). However, not all individuals were impacted by all these data elements, and the specifics of the breach vary from person to person.
Despite the lack of immediate evidence of identity theft, NESCTC is proactively offering affected individuals free access to credit monitoring services, which includes alerts for any changes to their credit file over the next 12 months. The company is also reviewing its security protocols and working closely with law enforcement to protect against future breaches.
