Anchor Computer Data Breach Impacts 3,275 in Washington

Anchor Computer, Inc., a provider of data processing and marketing services, recently experienced a significant data breach that affected thousands of individuals. The breach resulted in the exposure of personally identifiable information (PII), including names, full dates of birth and addresses, of at least 3,275 residents in Washington.

The incident was first detected on Sept. 12, 2025, when the company identified unauthorized access to its network environment. The breach specifically impacted individuals whose information Anchor Computer had received in connection with services performed on behalf of MacKenzie-Childs.

The company’s investigation, assisted by third-party forensic specialists, determined that an unauthorized third party may have acquired this sensitive data during the incident. The exposure of PII puts individuals at greater risk of identity theft and financial fraud.
