Garten Services Data Breach Investigation

On December 4, 2025, Garten Services learned that some personal information may have been exposed due to a data security incident. The breach was discovered after unusual activity was detected on their local network systems in early August 2025. Garten Services promptly launched an investigation, which revealed that certain data on their networks could have been accessed or acquired without authorization.

After this discovery, Garten Services conducted a thorough review of the affected data to determine the nature of the compromised information and to identify the individuals impacted. This process concluded on December 19, 2025, and notifications are now being sent to individuals who may have been affected.

When Did This Breach Occur?

The unauthorized access likely occurred between early August 2025 and December 4, 2025 when Garten Services became aware of the incident. Since the breach was identified, the company has taken steps to secure its systems and prevent further unauthorized access.

What Information Was Breached?

The breach potentially exposed personal data, including but not limited to:

  • Full Name

  • Social Security number

  • Financial data, etc

The exact information involved in the breach may vary depending on the individual. However, Garten Services has not disclosed the full scope of data for each person affected.
