NFI North recently announced a data breach that may have exposed personal information. While the company is actively addressing the incident, those affected may be entitled to compensation through a class action lawsuit. Read on for more details on this breach and what actions you can take to protect your data.
NFI North’s Data Breach Investigation
On or about September 6, 2025, NFI North discovered a network security incident in which an unauthorized third party gained access to their network. This prompted the company to immediately engage third-party forensic specialists to secure the network and investigate the full extent of the breach. NFI North’s investigation is ongoing, but they have confirmed that some personal information may have been compromised.
As part of the response, NFI North took swift action to secure their environment. They wiped and rebuilt the affected systems, reviewed their policies and network security protocols, and have taken additional measures to prevent future breaches. The company is also collaborating with the FBI to investigate the incident further.
Despite these efforts, NFI North’s preliminary findings suggest that personal data may have been accessed or exfiltrated by the unauthorized third party, though there is no evidence yet that the data has been misused. This breach involves sensitive personal information that could leave those affected vulnerable to fraud or identity theft.
The company is offering 12 months of free credit monitoring services to those impacted, including credit reports, scores, and fraud assistance through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company. These resources are intended to help victims monitor their credit activity and safeguard their personal information in the aftermath of the breach.
While the investigation continues, those who have received notice of this breach are urged to stay vigilant and take advantage of the free services offered.
