What Caused the Kemlon Products Data Breach?
The Kemlon Products & Development Group data breach was only recently announced, and more information is expected in the near future. However, Kemlon’s filing with the Attorney General of Texas provides only limited information on what led up to the breach.
However, we know that Kemlon recently completed its investigation into a potential data security incident. Through this investigation, Kemlon was able to confirm that an unauthorized party was able to access certain information that had been provided to the company.
