Full breach record for International Agri-Center →

International Agri-Center experienced a ransomware attack on November 24, 2018, when an unauthorized user accessed servers via Microsoft remote assistance tools. The attacker encrypted files, which were discovered on November 26, 2018. A forensic firm successfully decrypted the files and determined that personally identifiable information, including names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers, may have been accessed. The company notified affected individuals in April 2019 and offered one year of identity monitoring through Equifax.
