What Happened?
According to the company’s notice, alerts about a disruption to the computer network were received on June 9, 2026. The notice states that an investigation was launched with the help of outside cybersecurity specialists, and that the review determined the network had been accessed without authorization during the period identified above. The same notice further indicates that certain files containing personal information were acquired and that federal law enforcement and other authorities were notified.
The company also stated that it had no evidence of misuse of personal information for fraud or identity theft at the time the letters were sent. That statement can be important, but it does not necessarily eliminate the need to monitor accounts and credit, especially where Social Security numbers may have been involved.
What Information Was Exposed?
The notice says the information involved included an individual’s name, date of birth, and Social Security number. That combination can create a meaningful identity theft risk because it may be used to open new accounts, attempt tax fraud, or support other impersonation attempts.
If you received a letter, review it carefully to see whether it identifies the specific data elements tied to you. Even when there is no present evidence of misuse, it is still wise to treat Social Security number exposure seriously and take protective steps promptly.
What Should You Do Next?
- Save the notice and confirm your details. Keep the letter, note the date you received it, and verify what categories of information the company says may have been involved.
- Enroll in the free protection offered. The notice says affected individuals are being offered 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection through Cyberscout. If you are eligible, enrolling can help you catch suspicious changes sooner.
- Monitor your financial accounts and credit reports. Review bank statements, loan accounts, and your credit files for unfamiliar activity. You can obtain free credit reports through AnnualCreditReport.com.
- Consider a fraud alert or credit freeze. A fraud alert tells lenders to take extra steps to verify identity. A credit freeze can make it harder for someone to open new credit in your name without your permission.
- Document problems and ask questions quickly. If you notice suspicious activity, keep records of calls, charges, denial letters, and time spent addressing the issue.

Your Legal Rights
If your personal information was involved in this reported incident, you may have legal rights under applicable state or federal law. Those rights can depend on several facts, including what information was affected, what security measures were in place, whether notice was timely, and whether you later experienced fraud, identity theft, or other losses.
In some data incident matters, affected individuals may seek remedies for out-of-pocket losses, time spent dealing with the consequences, or the increased risk tied to exposure of sensitive data. Preserving your notice letter, credit monitoring enrollment records, screenshots, and any evidence of suspicious activity can be helpful if you later decide to explore a claim.
