What Happened?
According to a filing posted by the Maine Attorney General, Perrigo Company reported an external system breach involving hacking. The filing lists March 4, 2026 as both the date the incident occurred and the date it was discovered. It also states that written notice to affected consumers was sent on May 19, 2026.
The public filing provides only limited detail about how the incident happened, how long any access may have lasted, or what systems were involved. Because the publicly available materials are brief, affected individuals should rely on any letter they received for the most precise description of the event and the company’s response.
What Information Was Exposed?
The structured incident data provided for this article identifies name and Social Security number as the information potentially involved. At the same time, the public Maine filing available online does not clearly spell out every data element in plain text, so the exposed-data description should be treated cautiously unless your individual notice gives more detail.
When a name is paired with a Social Security number, the main concern is identity-related misuse, such as new-account fraud or other unauthorized use of personal information. That does not mean misuse has happened in any particular case, but it is a reason to monitor your information closely and take any offered protection services seriously.
What Should You Do Next?
- Read your notice carefully. Confirm what the letter says about the information involved, the date of the incident, and any deadline to enroll in free services.
- Use any free monitoring offered. The Maine filing says 24 months of Epiq Privacy Solutions ID 3B Credit Monitoring was made available. Enrolling may help you spot suspicious activity sooner.
- Review your credit reports and account activity. Look for unfamiliar accounts, inquiries, or changes to your personal information. You can get free credit reports from the official resource listed below in the sources.
- Consider a fraud alert or security freeze. If Social Security numbers may have been involved, these tools can add another layer of protection.
- Keep records. Save the notice letter, enrollment confirmations, screenshots, and notes of any suspicious activity or time spent dealing with the issue.
- Explore your legal options. If you received a notice and are concerned about your rights, you can fill out the form on this page to contact Strauss Borrelli PLLC about whether you may qualify for a claim.
Your Legal Rights
If your personal information was implicated in a reported security incident, you may have rights under state consumer-protection and data-breach notification laws. Those rights can include receiving notice, learning what categories of data were involved, and using any identity-protection services the company offers.
Depending on the facts, some people also explore whether they may seek compensation for out-of-pocket losses, time spent addressing the issue, or the consequences of identity misuse. Whether any claim exists depends on the available evidence, the notice language, and the laws that apply, so this article is not individualized legal advice.
