October 26, 2023 (press release) –

Pro Mach Inc. (“ProMach” or the “company”) understands the importance of protecting personal data and retaining the trust of customers and employees. Unfortunately, ProMach was the victim of a cyberattack, and certain sensitive personal data within the company’s custody and control was compromised.

What Happened?

On September 8, 2023, ProMach discovered that a third party gained unauthorized access to its information technology environment. The company immediately deployed security measures to contain and mitigate this threat and retained an external incident response team to accelerate recovery efforts. Because of the substantial security controls implemented prior to this cybersecurity incident, ProMach was able to contain the threat and return to a normal state of business operations. ProMach proactively notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of this incident and is assisting with its investigation.

What Personal Data Was Impacted?

As part of the internal investigation into this cyberattack, ProMach identified that an unauthorized third party gained access to sensitive personal data within ProMach’s HR files, such as payroll, tax withholding, and benefits enrollment data and similar data within personnel files.

What You Can Do.

Based on the measures that ProMach has implemented, and the actions taken, there is no indication that any sensitive personal data involved in this cybersecurity incident has been misused or will be misused in the future.
