OKLAHOMA CITY, July 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Murphy Law Firm is investigating claims on behalf of all individuals whose personal and confidential information was compromised in the data breach involving Advance Auto Parts. On May 23, 2024, Advance Auto Parts detected suspicious activity on its computer network, indicating a data breach. Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, Advance Auto Parts determined that cybercriminals infiltrated its inadequately secured computer systems and thereby gained access to its data files. According to a breach notification letter posted on the Maine Office of the Attorney General’s website “an unauthorized third party accessed or copied certain information maintained by Advance Auto Parts from April 14, 2024, to May 24, 2024.” Through this infiltration, cybercriminals potentially accessed and acquired files containing the sensitive personal information of 2,316,591 individuals. The information exposed in the data breach includes:
- Names
- Social Security numbers
- Dates of birth
- Driver’s licenses
- Government identification numbers
As a result of the data breach, these individuals’ personal and highly sensitive information may be in the hands of cybercriminals who can place the information for sale on the dark web or use the information to perpetrate identity theft.
