Storr Office Environments, headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a workplace solutions company that specializes in designing, furnishing, and optimizing office spaces.
On May 31, 2024, Storr Office Environments discovered a cybersecurity breach that may have compromised the sensitive personal information of current and former employees and customers. The breach is believed to have originated on May 30, 2024. Notification letters have recently been mailed to the individuals impacted by the incident.
Storr Office Environments has not yet disclosed the number of individuals affected by its recent data breach. The compromised information may potentially include names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, financial data, and health-related information.
Storr Office Environments’s recent data breach is a serious matter that could inflict far-reaching consequences for those affected. The exposure of personally identifiable information, especially names and Social Security numbers, poses a significant risk of identity theft, such as criminals opening financial accounts, taking out loans, filing fraudulent tax returns, and obtaining government services in the victim’s name. Personally identifiable information can also be exposed on the Dark Web, which poses a serious threat toward the privacy and safety of many individuals. According to a recent FTC survey, the total cost of identity theft is nearly $50 billion per year, with victims losing an average of nearly $5,000 from the misuse of their personal and financial information. The exposure of protected medical information can pose an even greater danger of identity theft—such as obtaining medical services in the victim’s name, which will be charged to the victim.
Current and former employees and customers of Storr Office Environments have been exposed to a heightened risk of fraud and identity theft and must now closely monitor your financial accounts. You could be at risk of incurring additional out-of-pocket costs for purchasing credit monitoring services, credit freezes, credit reports, or other protective measures to deter and detect identity theft.
