Stolen Backup Tape Exposes 10,000 Bill Dube Ford/Toyota Dealership Clients

Some 10,000 customers of the Bill Dube Ford/Toyota Dealership have been notified of a missing data backup tape that was stolen back around the beginning of August. While this information did not contain financial information, such as credit card numbers, it did include names, addresses, Social Security numbers and driver’s license data of New Hampshire and Massachusetts customers.

It is unknown why it took months for the customers to be notified of the data breach. There is an ongoing investigation on this theft situation. Due to the inclusion of Social Security numbers customers should consider credit protection as part of their identity protection strategy.
