The OEC Group data breach resulted in the unauthorized access of names and Social Security numbers of certain individuals being compromised.
According to the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, OEC Group reported a data breach after they were targeted in a recent cyber security attack.
The logistics company first detected suspicious activity on May 13, 2024, when unauthorized access was discovered within their computer network. Responding to the security incident, OEC Group took measures to secure their systems and initiated a comprehensive investigation with assistance from external cybersecurity professionals.
After a lengthy investigation spanning several months, OEC Group confirmed on February 14, 2025, that an unauthorized party had gained access to specific files on their network containing sensitive personal information. The company then conducted a thorough review of the compromised data to identify affected individuals and determine the scope of exposed information.
While the specific information varies by individual, the compromised data potentially includes names and Social Security numbers—both critical pieces of personal information that could be used for identity theft or financial fraud.
On March 14, 2025, OEC Group sent out data breach letters to those individuals whose information was affected by the breach.
