Companies like Emery Air are entrusted with safeguarding vast amounts of personal information due to the nature of their operations. This incident suggests a failure in maintaining the robust security measures legally required to protect your data. Such breaches often result from sophisticated cyberattacks, but the responsibility to prevent them lies with the company holding your information.
For those who received a notification letter, this means your personal information may now be in the hands of unauthorized parties.
