Northern Technologies International Corporation (NTIC) experienced a data breach involving unauthorized activity on its network between February 13–18, 2026. The company discovered the breach on February 17, 2026, and began notifying consumers on June 26, 2026. This incident was disclosed to the Massachusetts Attorney General, and NTIC has posted an official notice of the data security incident on its website.
The breach potentially exposed full names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth, government IDs, medical information, and financial information, though NTIC's official notice only confirms names, SSNs, and driver's license numbers. The total number of affected individuals has not been disclosed, but NTIC confirmed that affected individuals were identified based on names, addresses, and associated data elements after a forensic review. Complimentary credit monitoring has been offered to individuals whose SSNs were compromised.
Details about this breach, including the full scope of affected individuals and data types that may have been exposed, can emerge. Consumers who received a notice should monitor their accounts and consider added identity-protection steps.
