On February 11, 2016, an unknown criminal sent a phishing email to a Lamps Plus employee, redirecting the response to the attacker. This resulted in the exfiltration of W-2 data for all 2015 employees, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and earnings. The breach was discovered on March 2, 2016, when employees reported fraudulent tax returns filed in their names. The data was used for tax-related identity theft and refund fraud. Lamps Plus notified law enforcement, the California AG, and affected employees, and provided one year of identity monitoring services via Kroll.
