On or about July 8, 2024, Evening Post Publishing, Inc. (“Evening Post”) sent a Notice of Data Breach Letter (“Breach Letter”) via mail to victims of the Evening Post data breach, informing them that their personal information and Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”), was obtained by an unauthorized actor who accessed Evening Post’s network (“data breach”) between March 13 and March 20, 2024.
After Evening Post became aware of the potential unauthorized access to its network on March 20, 2024, it launched an investigation. The investigation determined that an unauthorized user had potentially infiltrated the Evening Post’s network and stolen sensitive files. As a result of the data breach, hackers obtained their first and last names, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account information, and credit card information from victims.
Evening Post is a media company that publishes magazines, newspapers, and television networks throughout the United States, and which has a history that stretches back to 1896. Headquartered in Charleston, SC, Evening Post’s estimated annual revenue is $24.8 million, with approximately 100 employees.
Specific numbers are not yet known, but it is likely thousands of people in South Carolina and possibly throughout the United States were exposed. If you received a Breach Letter from Evening Post, then you were impacted by the data breach.
Evening Post has offered victims of the data breach one year of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services as a precaution through CyEx.
WHAT INFORMATION IS INVOLVED?
According to Evening Post, the following information was exposed:
This information is called your Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). It tells others about you and is considered part of your identity. Businesses are required to secure this information or risk facing statutory penalties, among other legal penalties. Stolen PII can be used by identity thieves to engage in fraudulent activity using your identity.
The best way to protect yourself after a data breach is to sign up for credit and identity protection services as soon as possible.
