CRB Group, Inc., a vertically integrated player in the construction industry, has recently experienced a data breach that has raised concerns among its clients and employees.

The breach involved sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers, and was publicly disclosed through a filing with the Massachusetts Attorney General's office.

The company. has not specified the exact number of individuals affected by the breach. However, the exposure of Social Security numbers significantly heightens the risk of identity theft and fraud, making it a serious concern for those impacted.

Upon discovering the breach, CRB took immediate steps to secure its environment and launched a thorough investigation to understand the scope of the incident. The company has implemented additional technical safeguards to enhance the security of its data systems and prevent future occurrences.

In an effort to mitigate potential harm, CRB Group, Inc. has offered complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services to those affected. This proactive measure aims to help individuals monitor their credit activity and detect any unauthorized use of their personal information.

Protect Your Data

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.
