Community Realty Management Inc., now known as CRM Residential, discovered a significant data breach that affected 11,787 individuals across the United States. Last year, the company discovered suspicious activity involving employee emails. An investigation determined that unauthorized access to certain email accounts took place from Sept. 10, 2024 to Oct. 22, 2024.
A review took place and on April 14, 2025, it was discovered that personal, financial and protected health information was compromised in the data breach. Exposed information includes names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, other government-issued identification numbers, passport numbers, financial account information, payment card information, state identification numbers, medical information and health insurance information.
CRM Residential posted a Notice of Data Security Event on its website and began notifying affected individuals by mail on Aug. 11, 2025. The data breach was disclosed to the Maine and Vermont Attorney Generals' offices beginning on Aug. 12, 2025.
In addition to required state and federal disclosures, Community Realty Management is offering impacted individuals 12 months of free TransUnion Cyberscout credit monitoring services.

A breach notice means your personal details could be circulating far beyond the organization involved. One practical step is continuous monitoring: services such as Identity Defender (included with an ExpressVPN subscription) can automatically check dark-web markets, flag new credit-file activity, and request removal of your information from data-broker sites.
This kind of “early-warning system” can’t undo a breach, but it can help you spot misuse quickly and limit further exposure. ExpressVPN is offering 61% off, risk-free for 30 days, with ID Theft Insurance included and no extra cost for those who sign up for one or two years.
