March 10 – The Lumen Technologies 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 Lumen Technologies data breach resulted in the exposure of confidential consumer information of certain individuals being compromised.
According to the Montana Attorney General’s website, Lumen Technologies reported a data breach after they were targeted in a recent cyber security attack. The security incident allowed unauthorized access to the company’s computer network for a period of several weeks.
The telecommunications company first became aware of potential security issues on January 17, 2025, when suspicious activities were detected within their IT infrastructure. Upon this discovery, Lumen implemented security measures to protect their systems and initiated a comprehensive investigation with specialized cybersecurity experts to determine the scope and impact of the incident.
The investigation revealed that an unauthorized party had gained access to the company’s network between November 15, 2024, and December 4, 2024 – a period of approximately three weeks. During this timeframe, the unauthorized actor was able to access and potentially extract files containing sensitive consumer information stored on Lumen Technologies’ systems.
Following the discovery of the breach, Lumen conducted a thorough review of all files that may have been compromised to identify affected individuals and determine the specific types of information that were exposed. While the public notice filed with the Montana Attorney General does not specify the exact categories of data compromised, this information was provided to affected individuals in their personalized notification letters.
On March 6, 2025, Lumen Technologies sent out data breach letters to those individuals whose information was affected by the breach. These notifications likely detailed the specific types of personal information compromised for each recipient and included recommendations for protective measures.
