New York, NY – November 18, 2024-Set Forth and Centrex breach exposes data of 1.5M. Experts warn victims of dark web threats. Investigation underway to address the massive cybersecurity failure.
In a shocking revelation, Set Forth, Inc. and Centrex, Inc. have disclosed a massive data breach exposing the personal information of over 1.5 million individuals.
The breach, attributed to a compromise of internal systems, has placed sensitive data—including names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers—at risk of exploitation, sending shockwaves across the nation.
Affected individuals have been notified of the breach, with experts warning that their information might already be circulating on the dark web. Gregory Stone, Director of Case and Financial Analysis at Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP, the law firm investigating the breach stated:
This incident highlights the escalating threat of cybercrime and the urgent need for robust security measures.
The breach originated at Set Forth’s Schaumburg, Illinois, headquarters and has triggered nationwide concerns about identity theft. Victims are encouraged to monitor their financial accounts for suspicious activity and to take immediate protective actions, such as enrolling in credit monitoring services.
This is more than a technical failure; it’s a breach of trust. Companies handling sensitive personal data must prioritize security above all else.
