[UPDATE] Electric Mirror Faces Cybersecurity Breach
Social Security numbers and financial information potentially exposed in cyber incident
Earlier today, we published an article concerning a cybersecurity breach at Electric Mirror. Following the removal of an original report by one of our named sources—an established and reputable trade publication—we have revised our article. We have removed references to the third-party's published reporting and investigation in light of the fact that the information previously provided by this source is now unpublished and has been disputed by Electric Mirror as inaccurate.
In our revised article, we focus exclusively on information that is available in the public domain. Our aim is to maintain the accuracy and responsibility of our reporting. We want to clarify that any information initially published by the third-party source and later contested by Electric Mirror has been excluded from our current article.
Electric Mirror LLC, headquartered in Everett, Washington, has reported a data breach to the Washington State Attorney General. The breach, detected on March 29, 2024, may have exposed the personal information of 1,313 residents. The unauthorized access to the company's systems potentially compromised sensitive data, including Social Security numbers and financial account details. Electric Mirror has since taken measures to enhance its network security and to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Below is the statement submitted by Electric Mirror to the Washington State Attorney General regarding this incident:
