The frustrating aftermath of a data breach at American Type Culture Collection

In April, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) was targeted by a Phishing attack seeking W-2 records. Source familiar with April’s data breach shared internal memos and communications related to the breach’s aftermath with Salted Hash. ATCC has been in the news due to their lung cancer research and research on the Zika Virus.

The federal government is investigating the incident, and ATCC will send the IRS a list of staff SSNs to flag the individual as a victim of ID theft.”]
