Shingle & Gibb Automation Data Breach Exposes PII

Shingle & Gibb Automation LLC, an industrial automation products distributor headquartered in Moorestown, New Jersey, disclosed a data breach that affected 529 individuals in the United States, including four residents of Maine.

The breach was reported to the Maine Attorney General. Shingle & Gibb Automation discovered the breach on Feb. 20, 2026, and began notifying affected consumers by written notice on March 25, 2026.

What happened in the Shingle & Gibb Automation data breach

On Nov. 12, 2025, Shingle & Gibb Automation detected suspicious activity within its computer network, according to the company's notification to consumers. An investigation determined that an unauthorized third party gained access to the company's network on that same date and may have acquired certain files stored on the company's systems.

Following the detection, the company began a review of the potentially affected files to identify what personal information they contained and whose data may have been at risk.

The types of personal information confirmed as exposed included names. The company's notification to consumers indicated that additional, publicly undisclosed personal information may also have been involved.

Shingle & Gibb Automation's response to the breach

Shingle is offering affected individuals a complimentary one-year membership to Experian IdentityWorks Credit 3B. This identity protection service provides several layers of support, including credit monitoring across all three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion), identity restoration assistance from trained specialists and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance coverage.

The service also includes access to an Experian credit report at signup, with daily credit reports available for online members, according to the notification. Enrollees receive Experian IdentityWorks ExtendCare, which provides continued access to identity restoration support even after the one-year membership has expired.

The company's notification also directs affected consumers with further questions to a dedicated phone line, available from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, excluding major U.S. holidays.

Steps to take if your information was exposed

• Place a fraud alert on your credit file by contacting any one of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax (1-866-349-5191), Experian (1-888-397-3742) or TransUnion (1-800-888-4213).
• Consider placing a credit freeze to prevent new accounts from being opened in your name by contacting Equifax, Experian or TransUnion separately.
• Request free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com and review them carefully for any accounts or inquiries that are not familiar.
• Monitor financial accounts closely by reviewing bank and credit card statements regularly for any unauthorized transactions or suspicious activity.
• Watch for phishing attempts that reference Shingle & Gibb Automation or this data breach by name, as scammers sometimes use breach notifications to trick people into sharing personal information.
• Report suspicious activity to the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-438-4338 or to your state attorney general's office.
