What happened
Holt Group experienced a targeted criminal third-party cyberattack in December 2024 that may have accessed files containing names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and financial account information. A class action lawsuit alleged that the company failed to adequately protect this information. The settlement resolves the litigation; Defendant denies any wrongdoing and the Court has not decided who is right.
