Data Breaches

Data Breach at Debt Settlement Firm Impacts 160,000 People

Pennsylvania-based Century Support Services is disclosing a data breach after its systems were hacked in November 2024. 

Pennsylvania-based debt settlement company Next Level Finance Partners (dba Century Support Services) has disclosed a data breach impacting a significant number of individuals. 

The company has started sending out data security incident notifications informing impacted individuals that its systems were hacked in November 2024. 

An investigation launched in response to the cyberattack revealed in late May that the files potentially accessed or taken by the hackers stored personal information.

The exposed information includes name, Social Security number, date of birth, driver’s license number, state ID number, passport number, medical and health insurance information, as well as financial account information and digital signatures. 

Century Support Services told the Maine Attorney General’s Office this week that the data breach impacts more than 160,000 individuals. 

According to its website, the company has served nearly 300,000 clients.
