Ciuni & Panichi Data Breach Details

The breach was first discovered on November 3, 2024, when unauthorized activity was detected in an employee’s email account. After becoming aware of the situation, Ciuni & Panichi quickly took action to secure the affected account. The firm engaged a third-party team of forensic specialists to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from Ciuni & Panichi, your personal information may have been compromised. While most victims are officially notified through a “Notice of Data Breach” in the mail, the consequences—such as fraudulent transactions and identity theft—can begin long before the notice arrives.

Steps to Take if You Were Affected by the Ciuni & Panichi Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Ciuni & Panichi. Be cautious of unexpected emails, texts, or calls requesting personal information. When in doubt, verify communications directly with the company through official channels.

Monitor Your Credit and Financial Accounts
Regularly check your bank statements, credit card activity, and credit reports for unauthorized transactions. Set up account alerts to detect suspicious activity early. Take advantage of free credit reports and review them carefully for unfamiliar accounts or discrepancies.

Consider Freezing Your Credit
For added security, request a credit freeze from all three major credit bureaus. This prevents new accounts from being opened in your name while still allowing you to use existing credit. You can temporarily lift the freeze when necessary if applying for credit.
