Well, well, well. Seems like the day has come when hundreds of thousands of Americans are now at risk of having their identities stolen faster than you can say “identity theft.” Thanks to a massive data breach at a human resources firm, everyone’s sensitive information is out there for the taking.
Now, in a twist that’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat, Kelly Benefits, a Maryland-based firm, has just admitted that a “significant cybersecurity incident” affected 413,032 people. Imagine that – over 400,000 folks suddenly finding themselves on the hook for potential fraud. What a day to be alive!
According to their official filing with the Office of the Maine Attorney General, Kelly Benefits found that an unknown culprit – let’s just call them “the sneaky bandit” – managed to slip past the company’s defenses and make off with some pretty juicy data. We’re talking names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, tax IDs, medical records, health insurance info, and even financial records. It’s like a treasure trove for thieves, really.
“The investigation revealed that the breach occurred between December 12th and 17th, 2024, during which time certain files were copied and stolen. ”
Kelly Benefits then spent an eternity looking through these files to figure out just what exactly had been taken, and who it all belonged to. After a long, grueling process, they matched the stolen info to the affected individuals by March 3rd, 2025. Hope they had coffee on hand!
Now, what exactly does Kelly Benefits do, you ask? Well, they’re a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to HR services. They handle benefits administration, payroll, retirement planning, compliance support, and consulting services. Basically, they help companies keep track of employees’ well-being – until, of course, the data thieves come knocking.
As a consolation prize, Kelly Benefits did send out letters to those affected. They’re offering a shiny 12-month credit monitoring and identity theft protection plan. A nice gesture, right? Let’s just hope it doesn’t take a year for this mess to blow over.
As of now, Kelly Benefits insists there’s no evidence that any of the stolen information has been used for nefarious purposes. Well, that’s reassuring, isn’t it? But hey, we’ll see what happens next. They’ve reported this breach to the feds and are “monitoring” their security policies like hawks. So, fingers crossed – but don’t hold your breath!
