Murphy Law Firm is investigating claims on behalf of all individuals whose personal and confidential information was potentially compromised in the data breach involving Honeywell International, Inc. (“Honeywell”). On June 3, 2023, Honeywell was alerted that cybercriminals had gained unauthorized access to certain files. The infiltration and unauthorized access occurred through the use of the MOVEit transfer tool used by Honeywell. Through a subsequent investigation, Honeywell determined that the cybercriminals accessed the sensitive personal information of approximately 118,379 individuals, including Social Security numbers.
As a result of the data breach, these individuals’ personal and highly confidential information may be in the hands of cybercriminals who can place the information for sale on the dark web or use the information to perpetrate identity fraud.
Murphy Law Firm is evaluating legal options, including a potential class action lawsuit, to recover damages for individuals who were affected by the data breach.
