Young & Company in Maine recently reported a data breach, alerting individuals that their personal information may have been compromised. Receiving such a notification can be concerning, and our team is here to help you understand what steps you can take.

While the specific details of the information involved have not been publicly disclosed, any exposure of personal data carries inherent risks. Young & Company has stated they are currently investigating the incident to determine the full scope of the breach and the nature of the information affected.

We recommend that recipients of a notification letter immediately review any accounts linked to the information you shared with Young & Company. Remain highly vigilant for any suspicious communications, unexpected account activity, or unauthorized transactions across all your personal and financial accounts.

Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit files with the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). This can make it more difficult for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. Also, regularly check your credit reports for any unfamiliar inquiries or accounts.

What to do if you were affected

These general steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud after any data breach.

  • 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

    Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.
