On December 12, 2020, food distributor Peter Pan Seafoods, Inc. (Peter Pan) discovered that the personal data of 8,800 current and former employees was obtained in a ransomware attack. Hackers accessed and disabled the company’s computer system to extort money.

Compromised information included:

• Names
• Social Security numbers
• Dates of birth

Peter Pan recently began to notify affected individuals and is offering them two years of identity monitoring services. The company claims it has upgraded its security measures and computer systems in response to the breach.

Peter Pan is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington and has annual revenues of over $130 million. The 70-year-old company harvests, processes, freezes, and markets wild fish and shellfish from seas surrounding Alaska for the national retail market and food service industries in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Long-time owner Tokyo-based Maruha Nichiro sold Peter Pan to Northwest Fish Company and McKinley Capital in November 2020.
