Power Test Industries, LLC, a specialized engineering and manufacturing firm, reported a significant data security incident to the Maryland Attorney General in February 2025. This breach has raised concerns for current and former workers whose personal data was stored within the company's systems.
The exposed data includes Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Home Address, Wage and Compensation Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Tax Return Information, and Employee ID Number. The compromise of Social Security Numbers, Dates of Birth, and banking details significantly heightens the risk of identity theft, fraudulent credit accounts, and direct financial account takeover.
Under Maryland state laws and federal standards, Power Test Industries had a legal obligation to protect sensitive personal information through robust cybersecurity measures. The occurrence of a breach involving such critical data suggests potential deficiencies in the company's security practices, which could lead to legal liability for negligence.
