Venezia Transport’s Data Breach Investigation
Venezia Bulk Transport, Inc. (“Venezia Transport”) recently confirmed a significant data breach affecting 6,987 individuals. The breach resulted from an external hacking incident that allowed unauthorized access to the company’s network between August 5 and August 13, 2025. According to their disclosure, the breach was discovered months later, on January 9, 2026, after a comprehensive forensic investigation and document review.
Once the unauthorized activity was identified, Venezia Transport immediately initiated a robust incident response. They partnered with third-party cybersecurity experts to investigate the breach, assess the scope of the data exposure, and secure their systems.
