$8.3M
Spent responding & recovering
Direct expense
An intrusion reached SouthState's network on February 7, 2024, and the unauthorized party walked into folders holding more than 840,000 people's Social Security numbers and account details, which the class action alleges sat unencrypted. The exposure was not the break-in; it was a bank storing its most sensitive records in a shared drive and trusting the outer edge to hold. SouthState never named the actor or the vector, leaving the count as the only firm fact in the file.
