An assistant in the municipal clerk’s office deleted confidential documents and files as well as borough incoming and outgoing emails, but before doing so he placed them on a personal thumb drive, according to a letter sent to residents who may have been affected by the data breach.
Borough officials discovered the breach in February but did not notify the affected residents until this month. Mayor Matt Anesh, Borough Clerk Amy Antonides and the South Plainfield Police Department all declined to offer any further information, citing an ongoing investigation. None would comment on why residents were not notified sooner.
Gannon Associates Insurance Agency reported a data breach after the company experienced an “information security incident.” According to Gannon, the breach resulted in the full names, Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers of certain individuals being compromised. After confirming the breach and identifying all affected parties, Gannon Associates began sending out data breach letters to all affected parties.

By May, the company was alerted to certain compromised systems and files. There were also instances of unauthorized data access between March 12 and March 21, 2022.
A letter was sent to the potentially affected individuals on July 22 to notify them of this incident.
As confirmed by Clinivate, the impacted information may have included individuals’ names, Social Security numbers, medical record numbers, health plan beneficiary numbers, treatment information, and diagnosis information, among other medical information, and/or information relating to payment(s).

Italian authorities are investigating claims made by the LockBit ransomware gang that they breached the network of the Italian Internal Revenue Service (L’Agenzia delle Entrate).
LockBit claims they stole 100 GB of data (including company documents, scans, financial reports, and contracts) that will be leaked online if the Italian tax agency doesn’t pay a ransom demand until August 1st.
The Italian revenue agency shared an official statement on its website regarding “the alleged theft of data from the tax information system,” saying that it requested more info from Sogei (Società Generale d’Informatica) SpA, a Ministry of Economy and Finance public company that manages the financial administration’s technological infrastructure.
“From the technical investigations carried out, Sogei excludes that a cyber attack on the Agency’s website may have occurred,” the agency said.
