Cyberattack at LA Security Firm, Custom Security Systems
Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based security provider, Custom Security Systems, Inc. suffered a cyberattack in August last year where personally identifiable information ended up stolen and after a prolonged investigation it is now informing victims of the attack.
“On or about August 6, 2024, Custom Security became aware of unauthorized activity on our computer network,” the company said in a letter to its victims. “Upon discovery, we immediately took action to address and investigate the event, which included contacting law enforcement and engaging third-party computer forensic specialists to assist with determining the nature and scope of the event.
After a thorough investigation, the company found certain information stored on its network was subject to unauthorized access for a period of time. It then started up a comprehensive and time-consuming review of the potentially impacted data in order to determine the type of information contained within the data and to whom that information related, the company said.
