Dialogic, Sikorsky, and Thompson Dunavant report recent breaches

Posted on August 20, 2011 by Dissent

A few recent breach reports  to the New Hampshire Attorney that did not garner media attention:

On August 8, California-based Dialogic, Inc. sent out notifications to employees whose names and Social Security Numbers were on equipment stolen during a break-in on July 17.

Also on August 8, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation) sent out notifications to employees whose names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security Numbers, and emergency contacts were in files on a computer server that had been accessed by unknown person or persons. The firm had no indication that those specific files had been accessed. The defense technology firm, manufacturers of the Black Hawk helicopter, noted that they became aware of the breach in May.  Although a number of defense contractors have been hacked in recent months by #AntiSec or #Anonymous-related individuals, I don’t recall seeing any individual or individuals claiming to have hacked Sikorsky, so this may be unrelated to recent hactivist incidents.

Elsewhere on August 8, accounting firm Thompson Dunavant notified an unnamed client’s employees that their names and Social Security Numbers were on a laptop stolen from one of their benefits auditors; the laptop was not stolen from the client’s premises nor from the accounting firm’s premises.

Two thefts and a hack. Business as usual, perhaps?
