AttainX Data Breach Affects SSNs and Financial Info

AttainX, Inc., a technology services company specializing in IT and cybersecurity for federal agencies, was targeted in a cyberattack. The company detected suspicious activity within its internal network on May 15, 2025. An investigation determined that between April 13, 2025 and May 15, 2025, an unauthorized actor accessed and downloaded files containing sensitive information.

The PLAY ransomware group claimed responsibility for the breach on a dark web posting, stating they had infiltrated AttainX’s systems and stolen a range of sensitive data. The group threatened to publish the compromised information, unless their demands were met.

The data breach compromised names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers and financial account information. Ransomware attacks often put affected individuals at risk for identity theft and fraud.

AttainX began notifying impacted individuals by mail on Sept. 30, 2025. The cybersecurity incident was also disclosed to multiple state authorities on the same day, including the Massachusetts, Montana and New Hampshire Attorney Generals' offices.

AttainX, Inc.'s response

In addition to required state and federal disclosures, AttainX is offering 24 months of free single-bureau credit monitoring services. Given the sensitive nature of the exposed data, those affected are strongly encouraged to take immediate steps to protect themselves.

If you believe your personal information may have been compromised in this breach or receive a notification:

• Carefully review any communication you receive from AttainX or your employer and enroll in the free credit monitoring services.
• Monitor financial accounts and credit reports for signs of identity theft.
• Consider placing fraud alerts or credit freezes with the major credit bureaus.
• Be cautious of unsolicited emails or phone calls requesting personal information.
