Modern Disposal Services, Inc., a company operating in waste management and environmental services, recently reported a data security incident. This breach was formally disclosed to the Office of the Maryland Attorney General on March 6, 2025, confirming that private information held by the company was compromised.

While the full details of the incident are still being evaluated, the breach reportedly exposed a range of highly sensitive data categories. These include Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Home Address, Wage and Compensation Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Driver's License Number, and Tax Record Information. The exposure of such comprehensive personal and financial identifiers creates significant long-term risks for affected individuals, including identity theft, financial fraud, and unauthorized access to accounts.

Under Maryland state law, companies like Modern Disposal Services, Inc. have a clear legal obligation to implement robust security measures to protect the sensitive personal data they collect and store. A breach of this nature suggests that these foundational cybersecurity safeguards may have been insufficient, potentially falling short of recognized industry standards designed to prevent such intrusions. This can form the basis for legal claims against the company.

What to do if you were affected

Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.

  • Freeze your credit

    Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.

  • Guard against tax fraud

    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.

  • Watch your financial accounts

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

  • Replace exposed ID documents

    Contact your state DMV or the issuing agency about replacing an exposed driver's license, passport, or government ID number.

  • 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.
