Proctor Academy notified the NH Attorney General of a data breach involving its third-party vendor, Blackbaud, Inc. A ransomware attack on Blackbaud resulted in the exfiltration of backup files, including a legacy database containing unencrypted Social Security Numbers (SSNs) for 233 New Hampshire residents (and 7 Maryland residents). Proctor sent notices on November 6, 2020, offering two years of Experian identity protection services. Blackbaud paid a ransom for assurances of data destruction.
