What Happened?

Southern Graphics detected suspicious activity within its IT environment on December 2, 2024.

The investigation concluded on July 29, 2025, confirming that sensitive personal data had been removed.

Written breach notifications were mailed on September 3, 2025. The disclosure filed with the Maine Attorney General reports 31,480 affected U.S. residents, including 19 Maine residents.
