What Information Was Exposed?
The Maine webpage says the incident involved a person’s name or other personal identifier in combination with personal data. In addition, the structured incident data associated with this filing indicates the information at issue may have included Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, financial account numbers, passport numbers, and health insurance information. Because public summaries can be incomplete, the exact data involved for any one person may vary, so affected individuals should review their notice letters carefully.
What Should You Do Next?
- Review the notice closely. Confirm what the letter says about the information tied to you and note any enrollment deadlines for free protection services.
- Enroll in the offered monitoring. The filing states that one year of credit monitoring and identity theft protection through Epiq was offered. If you received a code or instructions, consider using them promptly.
- Watch your accounts and credit. Monitor bank accounts, credit cards, insurance statements, and free credit reports for unfamiliar activity, especially if financial or identity data may have been involved.
