National Amusements, CBS<\/a> and Paramount\u2019s<\/a> parent company, reported a year-old hack this month affecting 82,128 people. TechCrunch<\/em> first covered<\/a> the breach, revealed in a company legal filing with Maine\u2019s Attorney General<\/a> under a 2005 state digital privacy law. National Amusements hasn\u2019t commented publicly on the intrusion outside of the legal filing, and it isn\u2019t clear if customer (or \u201conly\u201d employee) data was stolen.<\/p>\n

Maine\u2019s data breach notification says the hack occurred over a year ago, from December 13 to 15, 2022. It states 82,128 people were affected, 64 of whom were Maine residents. National Amusements\u2019 senior vice president of human resources filed the notice, which may suggest (but not confirm) that it revolved largely or entirely around internal employee data. The filing says the company began notifying customers in writing on December 22, 2023 \u2014 372 days after the breach.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn or about December 15, 2022, National Amusements became aware of suspicious activity in our computer network,\u201d the notification letter<\/a> to victims reads. \u201cWe immediately took steps to secure our network and minimize any disruption to our operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, that last sentence contains an inconsistency, as the notice posted by Maine\u2019s Attorney General\u2019s office lists the \u201cdate breach discovered\u201d as August 23, 2023. That suggests the company didn\u2019t know about the intrusion until eight months after the incident, hardly qualifying as \u201cimmediately\u201d taking steps.<\/p>\n

The filing says hackers accessed financial information, including \u201caccount number or credit\/debit card number (in combination with security code, access code, password or PIN for the account).\u201d National Amusements wrote in Maine\u2019s notice that it\u2019s offering victims 12 months of Experian credit monitoring and identity theft services to customers whose social security numbers were taken.<\/p>\n

Engadget contacted National Amusements for confirmation or additional info. We will update this article if we hear back.<\/p>\n

National Amusements gained a controlling stake in Paramount and CBS in 2019 following the Viacom-CBS merger<\/a>. This hack appears separate from one Paramount disclosed in August through Massachusetts\u2019 Attorney General\u2019s Office. The company listed that breach\u2019s date as \u201cbetween May and June 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
