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.

SCM Group data breach lawyer, lawsuit and letter questions

Do I need a SCM Group data breach lawyer or attorney?
You don't need to pay to find out. Our data breach attorneys review notices like this one for free, and data breach cases are usually handled on contingency — no fee unless money is recovered for you.
Can I sue SCM Group over the data breach?
It depends on what was exposed, the law in NH and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
Is there a SCM Group data breach class action lawsuit?
Law firms often open an investigation after a breach notice like this one, and a class action lawsuit may follow. This page doesn't confirm that a lawsuit has been filed against SCM Group. You usually don't have to join a class action to be included — if a settlement is reached, class members are notified and can file a claim.
Is the SCM Group data breach letter legit or a scam?
A notice from SCM Group in the mail matches the breach SCM Group reported to the NH Attorney General on January 16, 2025. Check that the company name and dates in your letter match that filing. A real notice of data security incident won't ask for your password, Social Security number or a payment — if it does, contact SCM Group through a phone number or website you find yourself.
Did SCM Group offer free credit monitoring?
Check your letter from SCM Group. If free credit or identity monitoring is offered, the enrollment code and deadline are printed in the notice itself. Enrolling does not give up your right to bring a claim.
How much could a SCM Group data breach settlement or claim be worth?
There is no set amount, and no SCM Group settlement is confirmed here. In past data breach settlements, payments depended on what data was exposed and on documented losses — fraud, out-of-pocket costs and time spent dealing with the breach. Keep receipts and records; they're what damages claims are built on.
Where can I see the official SCM Group breach notice?
SCM Group's report is published by the NH Attorney General: https://mm.nh.gov/files/uploads/doj/remote-docs/scm-group-20250116.pdf Compare it with the letter you received to confirm the dates and details match.
What should I do after getting the SCM Group data breach notice?
Keep the letter and the envelope, and note the date it arrived. Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, change any passwords the notice mentions, and sign up for any free credit monitoring the letter offers. Then check whether you may have a claim.
