On September 24th 2020 Nat Hab discovered unusual activity on its computer network. Upon identifying the issue, Nat Hab promptly began an internal investigation and took steps to secure its systems. Nat Hab also engaged a third party forensic security firm to investigate the issue and confirm the security of its computer systems. This investigation determined that an unauthorized third party was able to temporarily access Nat Hab’s computers. The investigation also determined that the third party was able to access certain files on Nat Hab’s network. In light of that, Nat Hab reviewed those files to identify whether they contained any personal information.
