Have you been affected by Scales Plus LLC's data breach?

Scales Plus LLC has informed the Attorney General of Maine of a recent data security breach involving the unauthorized access to payment card information on its website. The company stated that an external system hack, caused by the compromise of a third-party application, led to the insertion of malicious code on the online store.

The company’s investigation revealed that the code may have captured payment card data entered by customers during actual or attempted purchases. The breach occurred on October 15, 2024, but was not discovered until December 11, 2024. A total of 7 Maine residents were among the individuals affected by the incident, which the company reported was caused by an external system breach.

Scales Plus recommended that customers contact their bank or card issuer if they notice unauthorized charges or transactions. The company reminded customers that major payment card brands, such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover, protect consumers from liability for unauthorized charges if reported promptly.

Although there is currently no evidence to suggest that identity theft or fraud has occurred due to this incident, individuals linked to Avery Products Corporation are encouraged to take precautions. To minimize potential risks, it is advisable to regularly monitor financial statements, update passwords, and remain vigilant against unsolicited communications, such as phishing attempts.
