Chemonics International, a large development firm and USAID contractor, was impacted by a data breach affecting the data of thousands of users.
According to the report they made in a notice on their website, the hack was first noticed late last year in December 2023, where they found possible hacking activity from earlier in the year in May to January.
After further investigation, they’ve confirmed possible data leakage. This included sensitive personal information, including name, email, social security, ID information, biometric, health and other related data of users.
Possibly affected users were advised to keep an eye on their account statements. They also recommended utilizing free credit monitoring tools, and considering a freeze if not actively applying or needing your score checked.
