Largest US propane distributor discloses ‘8-second’ data breach

America’s largest propane provider, AmeriGas, has disclosed a data breach that lasted ephemerally but impacted 123 employees. The propane giant servers over 2 million customers in all 50 U.S. states and has over 2,500 distribution locations. The data breach, however, originated at J. Keller, a vendor responsible for providing Department of Transportation compliance services to Ameri Gas. The bad actor had access to an internal email with spreadsheet attachments containing 123 employees’ information, including Lab IDs, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers and dates of birth.
