What Information Was Exposed?
The incident information supplied for this post indicates the data that may have been involved included names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. When information like this is implicated, the main concerns usually include identity theft, tax fraud, and fraudulent account activity.
If you received a letter from the company, read it closely because an individual notice may describe the affected data more specifically. If your Social Security number was included, it is especially important to consider a credit freeze and to watch for unfamiliar financial activity.
What Should You Do Next?
- Review the notice carefully. Confirm what the letter says about the data involved, the dates provided, and any enrollment deadline for free identity protection services.
- Enroll in the offered monitoring. The Maine filing says Epiq identity theft protection and credit monitoring were offered for 24 months. If you received a code or instructions, use them promptly.
- Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze. A credit freeze can make it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name. This can be especially important when a Social Security number may have been involved.
- Monitor your accounts and credit reports. Check bank statements, credit card activity, and your credit reports for accounts or inquiries you do not recognize.
- Keep records. Save the notice letter, screenshots, enrollment confirmations, and any evidence of suspicious activity. If you want to learn about your legal options, 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 under state or federal law, depending on where you live and the facts of the event. Those rights can include receiving notice, obtaining information about available identity protection services, and in some situations pursuing claims if a company failed to use reasonable safeguards or did not provide legally sufficient notice.
Every situation is different, and this page is not individualized legal advice. Still, if you have out-of-pocket losses, fraudulent accounts, time spent addressing misuse, or ongoing concerns about sensitive data such as a Social Security number, it may be worth speaking with a lawyer about whether you have a potential claim.
