Key Facts at a Glance
Breach window: August 10–13, 2025

What Happened?
Maritz Holdings Inc. (Maritz) relies on Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) to handle financial tasks such as invoicing and accounts payable. Oracle disclosed a critical EBS vulnerability in October 2025. Maritz later learned that, before that disclosure, an unauthorized third party exploited the flaw and accessed the company’s EBS environment between August 10 and August 13, 2025.
Upon discovery in November 2025, Maritz:
Contained the suspicious activity and launched an internal review
Engaged leading third-party cybersecurity experts
Notified law enforcement
Began a file-by-file analysis to identify affected individuals
What Information Was Involved?
The investigation determined that the compromised files included each affected person’s name and unspecified additional personal information referenced in the notice as “[Extra1]”. The company states it has no evidence of misuse but is notifying consumers out of an abundance of caution.
