Hasbro Employee Data Breach Exposes Financial and Identity Information

Hasbro disclosed that attackers accessed personal and financial information belonging to current and former employees after compromising an employee account. Data exposed varied by individual and included names and contact details, Social Security or other national identification numbers, financial-account and payment-card details, and driver’s-license information. Massachusetts notification records show 436 affected employees in the state.

Hasbro said it disabled the compromised account, terminated unauthorized access, and added safeguards. The company reported no known misuse of the information and is offering identity-protection services to affected individuals. It did not confirm whether the breach was linked to the late-March cyberattack that disrupted operations and reportedly cost roughly $25 million in lost revenue; no threat actor had publicly claimed responsibility.
