Data Breach Summary
Plavan Commercial Fueling, Inc. (P-Fleet) has confirmed that a recent data breach compromised the personal information of a Maine resident. The breach, which involved unauthorized access to an employee’s email account, was discovered during an investigation initiated in February 2025 after suspicious activity was detected in the account.
The incident occurred between November 26, 2024, and February 21, 2025, when an unauthorized party gained access to an employee’s email account at different times.
