Drivestream, a company based in Leesburg, Virginia, has recently reported a significant data breach that may have affected the personal information of 17 New Hampshire residents. This breach occurred between December 4 and December 9, 2024, when an unauthorized actor potentially exfiltrated sensitive data from Drivestream’s data center. The company has since taken multiple steps to investigate and secure affected systems, and is offering affected individuals credit monitoring services. However, if you have been affected, you may be entitled to compensation.

Drivestream’s Data Breach Investigation

On or around December 9, 2024, Drivestream detected suspicious activity at its data center, prompting an immediate investigation. This investigation revealed that between December 4 and December 9, 2024, an unauthorized actor accessed Drivestream’s systems and potentially exfiltrated sensitive data. Upon learning that personal data had been compromised, Drivestream took swift action to secure its systems and initiated a comprehensive review of the affected data.

The company worked closely with third-party forensic investigators to identify which personal data had been involved in the breach. After the investigation was complete, Drivestream notified potentially impacted individuals in early January 2025, and by August 2025, the company had provided further details about the data involved in the breach.

While Drivestream has yet to confirm any incidents of identity theft or fraud linked to this breach, the unauthorized access of personal information is still a cause for concern. The company has since notified 17 New Hampshire residents and is continuing to assess whether more individuals were affected. Drivestream is also taking steps to improve its internal policies and security measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

When Did This Breach Occur?

The breach occurred between December 4 and December 9, 2024. However, Drivestream did not become aware of the unauthorized access until December 9, prompting an immediate response and investigation. Following the investigation, the company began notifying affected individuals in January 2025 and provided more detailed information in August 2025.

What Information Was Breached?

The following personal information may have been compromised during the breach:

  • Name
  • Social Security number
  • Financial account information

These are critical pieces of data that, if accessed by unauthorized individuals, could lead to identity theft or other fraudulent activities. Drivestream has yet to confirm any actual or attempted identity theft linked to the breach, but it is important for affected individuals to take steps to protect themselves.

What You Can Do

If you are one of the impacted individuals, here are some steps you can take to protect yourself:

  1. Monitor Your Financial Accounts: Regularly review your bank and credit card statements for any unauthorized transactions.
  2. Place a Fraud Alert: Contact one of the major credit bureaus to place a fraud alert on your credit file, making it harder for identity thieves to open accounts in your name.
  3. Consider a Credit Freeze: Consider placing a credit freeze on your file to prevent anyone from accessing your credit report without your consent.
  4. Use Free Credit Reports: Take advantage of free credit reports and check for any unfamiliar accounts or activities.
  5. Report Suspicious Activity: If you notice any signs of fraud or identity theft, report it immediately to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), your state Attorney General’s office, and local law enforcement.

Drivestream is offering free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services for affected individuals. However, it’s still essential to remain vigilant and take these additional precautions to safeguard your personal information.
