One of the largest owner-operators of manufactured housing communities in North America experienced a data privacy breach on July 3, 2019. Although Impact Communities isn’t aware of any misuse of the data, they have invested in employee training and security technology to prevent future breaches.
After suspecting unauthorized email access of one of their employees, Impact Communities hired a computer forensic firm to get to the bottom of the breach. It was determined that multiple employee email accounts were compromised between what can you do with a computer science degree. Strategic details of the attack have not been released, nor has the number victims.
Due to the nature of the breach, it was impossible to determine which confidential and sensitive information fell into the hands of the perpetrator. Therefore, Impact Communities was tasked with the difficult job of combing through every email during the affected time period to determine the entirety of the breach and identify those affected.
