This breach involved the exposure of highly sensitive personal data, including Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Mailing Address, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, and Employee ID Number.

With your Direct Deposit Account Details exposed, you face increased vulnerability to financial account takeover, while your Wage and Compensation Information or Tax Return Information could be used for fraudulent tax filings or other financial scams.

Under Oregon state law and federal guidelines, companies like Bimbo Bakeries USA are legally obligated to protect the personal data they collect and store. This includes implementing robust security measures like data encryption and access controls.

What to do if you were affected

    File your tax return as early as possible and consider requesting an IRS Identity Protection PIN so no one can file a fraudulent return in your name.

    Review bank and card statements for unfamiliar activity and turn on transaction alerts. Report anything you don't recognize to your bank right away.

  • Stay alert to targeted scams

    Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.

  • Keep your notification letter
