Massive Data Breach Exposes Hundreds of Thousands of Americans to Financial Fraud and Identity Theft
A recent cybersecurity incident at The Alcohol & Drug Testing Service (TADTS) has put 748,763 individuals at risk of financial fraud and identity theft. The unauthorized access to TADTS data systems resulted in the theft of sensitive information provided during the screening process.
The compromised data may include names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, government-issued IDs, bank and financial details, credit and debit card information, usernames and passwords, email accounts, USCIS or alien registration numbers, and biometric data.
TADTS discovered the breach on July 9, 2024, and immediately took steps to investigate and contain the situation. The firm has also enhanced its cybersecurity measures and engaged privacy professionals to assist in remediation. The incident has been reported to federal law enforcement.
As a Texas-based firm offering drug and alcohol screening services nationwide, TADTS is urging affected individuals to remain vigilant against identity theft and fraud. Victims are advised to monitor their credit reports and can request one free report annually from each of the major credit bureaus.
Despite the breach, TADTS has not received any reports of identity theft or fraud linked to the incident so far.
