MARLTON, N.J., Aug. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately 1,237,681 consumers are being notified that their Social Security numbers and other confidential information were compromised after hackers targeted the company's IT network in a recent cyberattack. The data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C. are investigating claims on behalf of anyone affected by the PurFoods breach, hoping to fully inform them of the risks they face in the wake of the breach as well as their legal rights.

The sensitive personal data of 1,237,681 consumers has been compromised. Now, consumers' full names, Social Security numbers, financial account information and more may be in the hands of criminals, putting victims at a greater risk of identity theft and other frauds.

PurFoods notes that the incident stemmed from a cyberattack that occurred between January 16, 2023, and February 22, 2023, resulting in portions of the company's computer network being encrypted.

According to the notice, the data breach affected an estimated 1,237,681. The list of sensitive information that was exposed includes:

• Names,
• Social Security numbers,
• Driver's license numbers,
• State identification numbers,
• Financial account information,
