McMenamins employees who haven’t worked at the hotel and brewpub chain since the Clinton administration had personal information accessed during a ransomware attack last month, according to the Portland company.
The attack breached current employee records and accessed former employees’ information as far back as 1998.
Cybercriminals potentially accessed employee names, Social Security numbers, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, birth dates, income information, and performance and disciplinary records, according to McMenamins.
The company said it’s “possible” thieves have accessed direct deposit information, including bank account numbers, but McMenamins said it can’t say for sure whether that happened.
While the chain has notified employees who worked for McMenamins since 2010 about the breach, it says it doesn’t have contact information for employees who worked at the company between 1998 and 2010, so it’s set up a webpage providing information for them.
“We’re devastated our people need to do so, but we’re urging them to vigilantly monitor their accounts and healthcare information for anything unusual,” Brian McMenamin, a member of the family that owns the chain, said in a statement last week.
The chain reiterated that it doesn’t believe hackers accessed customer financial data, which is on a separate system from the one breached last month.
