What Happened?
According to the Maine Attorney General filing, Universal Pure reported an external system breach involving hacking. The filing identifies August 20, 2024 as the date the event occurred and August 7, 2025 as the date it was discovered. It also states that written notice was sent to affected consumers on April 21, 2026.
At this stage, the public information should be read carefully and with attribution. Regulatory filings report the incident, but the publicly accessible Maine web page does not provide every detail that may appear in the underlying notice letter. If you received a notice from the company, that letter may contain more specific information about what happened and what categories of data were relevant to you.
What Information Was Exposed?
Public reporting connected to this incident indicates the information reported as potentially involved may include Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account information, health records, and health insurance information. Those are sensitive data categories because they can create risks of identity theft, account misuse, medical identity issues, or fraud.
The Maine Attorney General web page itself uses more general statutory language and does not spell out every data element on the page. For that reason, affected individuals should rely first on their own notice letter and any enrollment materials for identity protection services to confirm what may have applied in their case.
What Should You Do Next?
- Read the notice closely. Keep the letter, note the mailing date, and look for any description of the specific information that may have been involved in your case.
- Enroll in the offered protection. The Maine filing says TransUnion credit monitoring and identity theft protection were offered. If you received an enrollment code or deadline, consider using it before it expires.
- Monitor your financial and health-related accounts. Review bank statements, explanation-of-benefits forms, insurance activity, and other account records for unfamiliar transactions or claims.
- Consider a fraud alert or credit freeze. If Social Security or financial information may have been involved, a fraud alert or security freeze can help reduce the risk of new-account fraud.
- Document any suspicious activity. Save letters, emails, screenshots, and notes of any unauthorized charges, denied claims, or collection activity.
- Ask questions if needed. The filing lists a company contact at (630) 740-9664 and TRosado@universalpure.com.
- Learn about your legal options. If you received a notice and want to know whether you may have a claim, you can fill out the form on this page to contact Strauss Borrelli PLLC.
Your Legal Rights
If your personal information was involved in a reported data incident, you may have legal rights depending on the facts, the kind of information at issue, and the laws of your state. In some situations, affected individuals may be able to seek compensation for out-of-pocket losses, time spent addressing fraud issues, or other harm recognized by law. They may also seek answers about the adequacy of safeguards and the timing of notice.
Every situation is different, and receiving a notice does not automatically mean you have a lawsuit. But it does mean you should take the notice seriously, preserve your records, and act promptly if you begin to see signs of misuse. A lawyer can help evaluate whether the reported facts and your experience support a claim.
