A Mid-America Apartment Communities employee who was caught selling current and former residents’ and applicants’ personal information to an undercover federal agent has led the Memphis-based firm to notify all those whose details the employee had access to – details that included names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers, and bank account details.
Through their counsel, on May 20th, MAA informed the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office that MAA does not believe that the unnamed former employee ever sold information to anyone who misused it or that information on all current and former residents and applicants was involved, but they notified all those whose (paper) files the employee had access to.
MAA learned of the problem on April 15, 2015. The former employee has been indicted on federal charges.
It is not clear from their counsel’s notification how many people have been notified, but three New Hampshire residents who were residents of Village Oaks Apartments were among those notified.
Those affected were offered two years of credit monitoring services with Experian ProtectMyID.
