What Happened?
In June 2025, Towne Mortgage Company experienced a significant data breach after falling victim to a ransomware attack by a group known as BlackByte. The incident was first discovered on June 7, 2025, and after a thorough investigation with cybersecurity professionals, it was determined that certain personal information may have been copied from the company's network.
On July 30, 2025, BlackByte claimed responsibility for the attack and posted about it on the dark web, even providing sample data. Towne Mortgage disclosed the breach to the Massachusetts Attorney General's office on Nov. 14, 2025.
Your Rights and Next Steps
If you received a notification letter from Towne Mortgage, there are several important steps you can take to protect yourself:
- Enroll in the complimentary 24-month credit monitoring service provided by Cyberscout. Enrollment instructions and a unique code are included in the notification letter.
- Place a fraud alert on your credit files. This tells creditors to contact you before opening any new accounts in your name. You can do this by contacting any of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian or TransUnion.
- Consider placing a security freeze on your credit reports to prevent unauthorized access. This is free and can be done by contacting each credit bureau individually.
