Cyberattack at PA Security Firm, Vector Security
Warrendale, Pennsylvania-based security provider, Vector Security, Inc. suffered a cyberattack late last year where personally identifiable information ended up stolen and the company is now informing victims.
“Vector detected unauthorized activity in our information technology (IT) systems,” the company said in a letter to victims. “Upon discovering this activity, we immediately took protective actions to stop the unauthorized access, notified U.S. federal law enforcement, and launched an investigation with the assistance of leading cybersecurity specialists.”
The investigation indicated personal information may have been accessed by an unauthorized party as early as mid-December 2024. Moreover, the company said it discovered the attack December 18. At this time, Vectoer said it has no reason to believe any victim’s information ended up misused. Out of an abundance of caution, however, the company wanted to keep the victims aware.
