What Happened at Rumpke Waste & Recycling?
According to Halcyon, a website that reports on cyberattacks, Rumpke was targeted by Hunters International in an October 2024 ransomware attack. The report claims that Hunters stole as much as 3.3 terabytes of data.
Rumpke reported to the state Attorney General of Maine that over 16,900 individuals may have had their personal information compromised. The data at risk may include the following:
- Name
- Address
- Date of Birth
- Health insurance data, such as health plan enrollment and account information
- Medical data, such as diagnosis information, health billing and payment data, such as claim numbers, account numbers, billing codes, payment amounts, and balance information
- Social Security number, driver’s license or state or other ID number
- Financial account information
We believe very strongly that any entity that collects and stores your sensitive personal data has a duty to protect it with reasonably secure IT security. If they fail to prevent data theft incidents, negligent companies can be held accountable. Class Action data theft lawsuits can compensate individuals for damages and can force companies to rethink their current data storage systems for future protection.
