Immigration law firm Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP has disclosed a data breach that exposed current and former Google employees' personal information.
Fragomen is one of the USA's largest law firms covering immigration law, with over 582 attorneys in 47 locations worldwide.
In a "Notice of Data Breach" sent to Googlers impacted by the breach, Fragomen states that they are responsible for providing I-9 employment verification services to Google.
According to the notification, the law firm recently learned that their network was compromised, and the hacker accessed a file containing Googler's personal information.
"We recently became aware of suspicious activity within our computer network. While our investigation is ongoing, we discovered that an unauthorized third party gained access to a single file containing personal information relating to I-9 employment verification services. This file contained personal information for a discrete number of Googlers, including you," the data breach notification stated.
