All Things Media Data Breach: Know Your Rights
You May Be Entitled to Compensation
If you've received a notice from All Things Media LLC or believe your personal information may have been compromised in the recent data breach, you should be aware that you may be entitled to compensation. Lawyers are ready to help guide you through the process of protecting your rights and seeking any compensation you may be eligible for due to this incident.
What Happened?
On or about November 30, 2023, All Things Media LLC, a media production company known for its effective and creative work for clients ranging from small businesses to large international corporations, experienced a data breach. The breach was significant enough to warrant a disclosure to the Massachusetts Attorney General's office. The personal information exposed includes first and last names, dates of birth, and social security numbers—sensitive data that could potentially be misused for identity theft and other fraudulent activities.
The company has since taken steps to secure the compromised information and has reached out to those affected, offering complimentary credit monitoring services through IDX, a data breach and recovery services expert.
For more details on the breach and the company's response, you can access the full disclosure on the Massachusetts Attorney General's website.
Your Rights and Next Steps
Your privacy is paramount, and there are several steps you can take to safeguard your information:
-
Contact IDX for free identity protection services by calling 1-800-939-4170 or visiting IDX's enrollment page. Use the enrollment code provided in the notice from All Things Media LLC to access the services.
-
Review your credit reports regularly. You're entitled to one free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus every year through AnnualCreditReport.com or by calling 1-877-322-8228.
-
Place a fraud alert on your credit files by contacting one of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion). This makes it harder for someone to open accounts in your name.
-
Consider a security freeze, which will prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in your name without your consent.
-
Stay informed about your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which promotes the accuracy and privacy of information in the credit bureau's files. More information can be found on the FTC's website.
-
Report identity theft to law enforcement, the FTC, and the Massachusetts Attorney General if you suspect that your information has been misused.
Remember, you have until November 1, 2024, to enroll in the free services offered by IDX.
