DataBreaches.net reports than an updated incident report filed by DISA Global Solutions leaves a number of questions unanswered:
On February 3, DataBreaches quoted a press release by BakerHostetler about a breach update from DISA Global Solutions that DISA had issued on January 23, 2025. BakerHostetler’s release was subsequently removed from their website, although a copy still currently exists at PublicNow. Of note, in their main takeaways section, BakerHostetler quoted DISA’s update and commented:
DISA data has not been found on the dark web. DISA indicated it “took measures to dissuade the threat actor from publicly releasing any acquired data and to provide confirmation of the deletion of the data.” To date, DISA has no evidence of this data being released on the dark web. While this may provide comfort to some, it does not mean the data is not in the possession of bad actors and does not change potential notice obligations.
… Yesterday, DISA submitted a breach notification to the Maine Attorney General’s Office. That submission indicated that a total of 3,332,750 people were affected by the breach. As in its previous disclosures, DISA stated that the breach occurred between February 9, 2024 and April 22, 2024.
One significant difference, however, is the omission of anything about DISA taking measures to dissuade the threat actor from publicly releasing any acquired data and to provide confirmation of data deletion.
