Lands’ End Inc. experienced a major data breach impacting several thousand current and former employees. On Dec. 6, 2024, Lands’ End Inc. detected unauthorized access to a portion of its corporate network.

An investigation revealed that some data from the corporate network had been copied by an external party. The stolen data included personal information belonging to some current and former employees and some of their dependents.

The information was either provided to or collected by Lands’ End or was voluntarily stored by employees on Lands’ End-owned devices. Exposed information may include names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers and health insurance information.

Lands' End began notifying affected individuals by mail on Aug. 13, 2025. The data breach was also disclosed to the Maine and Montana Attorney Generals' offices, reporting at least 10,060 individuals affected.

Lands’ End Inc.'s response

In addition to required state and federal disclosures, Lands' End is offering 24 months of free Experian IdentityWorks credit and identity monitoring services to impacted people.

More information about the company can be found on the Lands’ End website.

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.
