Have you been affected by Beam Benefit's data breach?

Beam Benefits, a Columbus, based company, may have experienced a significant data breach, exposing the personal information of individuals. Affected individuals are urged to stay vigilant by regularly reviewing their personal information and monitoring their credit reports for any suspicious activity.

Beam Benefits Data Breach Details

This breach is reportedly linked to a third-party service provider, Kelly Benefits, which is currently under investigation for the incident. While Beam Benefits has not yet issued a formal notification regarding the breach, it has been connected to the Kelly Benefits breach that compromised sensitive data across multiple organizations. Kelly Benefits has been working with third-party experts to address and secure the compromised information.

Although Beam Benefits has yet to confirm the specifics of the breach, Kelly Benefits has been offering support services, including credit monitoring and identity protection, to those potentially impacted by the breach.

What Information Was Affected?

The breach allegedly exposed personal details of employees and beneficiaries associated with Beam Benefits, including names, addresses, and potentially more sensitive information.

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you were impacted by the breach, you likely received a direct notification from Beam Benefits, either by mail or email. Although most individuals are formally informed through a mailed “Notice of Data Breach,” issues like identity theft or fraudulent activity can occur even before that notice reaches you.

What Affected Individuals Should Do

If you were impacted by the Beam Benefits data breach, consider the following steps to protect your personal information:

  • Monitor Financial Accounts: Regularly review bank and credit card statements for any unauthorized transactions.

  • Check Credit Reports: Obtain free credit reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to detect any unusual activity.

  • Place Fraud Alerts or Credit Freezes: Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze on your files to prevent new account openings.

  • Report Suspicious Activity: Report any signs of identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and local authorities.
