Credit Sesame Data Breach Details
In April 2025, Credit Sesame, Inc. discovered suspicious online activity related to user accounts, which prompted a thorough investigation. The investigation revealed that unauthorized access to certain accounts occurred between a limited window of time. As a result, sensitive personal information, including names and potentially other personal data, may have been exposed to unauthorized actors.
The breach was immediately addressed by securing the affected accounts and initiating a review of the data potentially impacted. The company has since completed this process and is notifying affected individuals, advising them on steps they can take to protect their personal information.
As an additional precautionary measure, the company is offering affected individuals complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services through Experian for up to 12 months.
Under U.S. law, individuals affected by data breach are entitled to one free credit report each year from the three major credit reporting bureaus—TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax.
Compromised Information
The compromised data may include personal details such as:
-
Full name
-
Email address
-
Other personal data (specifics not disclosed in the notification)
While the investigation is ongoing, there is currently no evidence to suggest that the compromised information has been misused.
