An intruder illegally accessed an employee email account at San Diego, California-based preschool education provider Enrichment Systems, Inc (EES) and may have viewed sensitive personal information of parents and students, the firm said in a press release last week.

The non-profit organization, which focuses on serving children ages 18 months to 5 years of age from low-income families, said in a data breach notice on its website that it became aware of suspicious email activity on an employee’s account on August 30, 2019. Upon further investigation, it found unauthorized access of the employee’s account between May 27, 2019 and July 15, 2019.

The notice says information that may be affected by the event includes “individual’s name, address, Social Security number, financial information, health insurance information, student education records, as well as medical history and treatment information.”
Data breaches go hand in hand with identity-related crimes. A criminal can use stolen personal information in many ways, such as registering a false tax return, credit card fraud and acquiring medical insurance in another’s name.
