College of the Canyons alerts employees to third-party ransomware attack

Posted on December 21, 2023 by Dissent

Tyler Wainfeld reports:

College of the Canyons is communicating with more than 2,400 affected personnel after an unauthorized data breach through its insurance provider, according to Eric Harnish, a spokesman for the college.

Keenan & Associates, a Torrance-based consulting and brokerage firm which has the Santa Clarita Community College District as one of its clients, was breached by an unauthorized party between Aug. 21 and Aug. 27, according to a letter sent to COC and the state Attorney General’s Office on Dec. 12. The letter states that the company was “the target of a ransomware incident.”

[…]

“The review determined that the data involved contained some of your personal information, including your name, and one or more of the following: Social Security number, driver’s license number, passport number, general health information, health insurance information, and other employment-related information,” the letter reads.

No listing for Keenan & Associates has shown up on any of the ransomware group leak sites routinely checked by DataBreaches, but this post will be updated if more information becomes available.
