Breakdown
On July 9, 2024, The Alcohol and Drug Testing Service (TADTS) detected unusual activity that suggested unauthorized access to its systems. As a result, the company quickly secured its network, launched an investigation, reset passwords, and strengthened security tools.
Next, TADTS brought in outside cybersecurity and privacy experts and reported the incident to federal law enforcement. Further review confirmed that an unauthorized party downloaded certain files. At this time, there is no evidence that the exposed data has been used for identity theft or fraud.
