October 23 – The Cadre Services data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C are investigating the data breach that was reported after the company was targeted in a recent cyber security attack. The Cadre Services data breach resulted in the names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and other identity information, such as driver’s license numbers and passport numbers of certain job seekers being compromised.
According to the DataBreaches.net article, Cadre Services reported a data breach after they were targeted in a recent ransomware attack. The incident began on or around September 19, 2023, when AlphV members first contacted Cadre about information the group allegedly stole from the company’s computer network. Cadre responded on September 22, 2023 and the parties went back and forth negotiating the ransomware payment. Cadre began negotiations at $25,000 and eventually increased the possible payment to $35,000. However, this was nowhere near AlphV’s demand of $300,000 causing negotiations to stall on October 4, 2023. After AlphV determined that Cadre was unwilling to pay the ransom, the group leaked a sample of the stolen data which contained 
sensitive information belonging to approximately 4,400 jobseekers. Cadre Services will send out data breach letters to those individuals whose information was affected by the breach once they complete their investigation.
