Pittman, Dutton, Hellums, Bradley & Mann, P.C., a Birmingham, Alabama-based law firm experienced in data breach, privacy, and consumer class action cases is investigating claims on behalf of victims of a recent data breach involving Brownell Travel, Inc. (“Brownell”).

Brownell Travel, a respected travel advisory company headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, recently reported a data breach that may have compromised sensitive personal information of over 12,800 individuals. Brownell, founded in 1887, is known for designing and planning personalized trips for its clients and has a team of over 50 employees.

What Happened?

According to the breach notice filed with the Attorney General of Maine, Brownell detected suspicious activity within its computer systems last year. An investigation was launched to determine the extent of the breach, revealing that unauthorized access to sensitive personal data occurred between November 10 and November 26, 2023. Brownell is currently reviewing the impacted data to identify the specific information that was exposed and the individuals affected.

Although Brownell has not publicly disclosed the exact types of personal information involved, state reporting guidelines indicate that the compromised data may include:

  • Name
  • Social Security number
  • Driver’s license or state ID card number
  • Account number, credit card number, or debit card number
  • Account passwords, PINs, or other access codes

On July 30, 2024, Brownell began sending data breach notification letters to the affected individuals. These letters should provide details on the specific types of information compromised and offer 24 months of complimentary credit monitoring services.
