The company acknowledged the hack in a recent filing with the Maine attorney general’s office, but details remain scant. 82,128 people, possibly including employees, were affected by the notification letter from the HR department. However, it is unclear whether clients or users were affected, what data was stolen, or what the nature of the attack was.
Although the letter mentions stolen financial information such as bank account numbers and passwords, National Amusements remains silent and refuses to comment on the ransom demands or the type of attack. This lack of transparency raises concerns about the scale and severity of data breaches.
In August 2023, Paramount, controlled by National Entertainment, reported a similar incident in which customers’ names, dates of birth, and even Social Security numbers were compromised.
Experts say this series of security failures raises serious questions about National Amusements’ cybersecurity practices. The delay in disclosing information about the hack, which occurred in December 2022, further weakens trust and leaves potential victims in the dark.
