The Alcohol & Drug Testing Service is a company that provides drug and alcohol screening services for individuals and organizations. Its services typically include pre-employment testing, random testing, court-ordered testing, and testing related to Department of Transportation (DOT) compliance. The company works with employers, legal entities, and individuals to support safety and compliance requirements. It operates testing sites in various locations across the United States.
The Alcohol & Drug Testing Service recently experienced a data breach that may have exposed sensitive personal, financial, and health-related information belonging to current and former employees, as well as individuals who previously underwent testing through the organization. Impacted individuals will receive notification by mail.
The Alcohol & Drug Testing Service has disclosed that 748,763 individuals were affected by the breach. The compromised information may include names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, government-issued identification numbers (such as passports or state ID cards), financial information (including bank account or credit/debit card numbers), and health insurance information.
The recent Alcohol & Drug Testing Service 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, as well as individuals who previously underwent testing through The Alcohol & Drug Testing Service, may face an increased risk of fraud and identity theft. Affected individuals are advised to monitor their financial accounts and personal information closely for any signs of suspicious activity. 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.
