Posted On January 3, 2025 Consumer Privacy & Data Breaches
January 3 – The BeyondTrust data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C are investigating the data breach that was reported after the company discovered a vulnerability in their remote support service. The BeyondTrust security incident has gained particular attention due to its impact on the U.S. Treasury Department, raising concerns about potential widespread implications for both government and private sector clients.
According to recent reports and BeyondTrust’s own website notice, the company identified a significant security vulnerability in their cloud-based remote support service. On December 8, 2024, BeyondTrust notified the U.S. Treasury Department that unauthorized actors had obtained access to a key that enabled them to bypass security measures and access certain workstations.
The incident appears to be particularly sophisticated, with evidence suggesting involvement of a China state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor. While the investigation is ongoing, preliminary findings indicate that unauthorized access was obtained to certain unclassified Treasury documents.
As of now, BeyondTrust has not confirmed whether any consumer data was compromised in this incident. Should the investigation reveal that personal information was exposed, affected individuals will receive data breach notification letters detailing the scope and nature of the compromised data.
