Details of the DFB Sales Data Breach

DFB has disclosed a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to its computer network, potentially exposing sensitive employee information, including Social Security numbers.

The breach was first detected on December 27, 2024, when the company identified unusual activity within its systems. DFB promptly engaged third-party forensic specialists to investigate the extent of the breach. By January 7, 2025, the company confirmed that employee data was involved.

In response, DFB took immediate action to secure its network, reset passwords, and implement enhanced security measures to prevent future incidents. The company is also offering 12 to 24 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services to those affected.

DFB advises employees to remain vigilant for potential fraud by regularly monitoring their financial and credit accounts. Anyone noticing suspicious activity is encouraged to contact their financial institution immediately.

Details on how to enroll in the free credit monitoring service have been provided to those impacted. DFB has assured employees that it remains committed to strengthening its cybersecurity protocols to prevent future breaches

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from DFB Sales, your personal information may have been compromised.

Steps to Take If You Were Affected by the DFB Sales Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams

Scammers may try to take advantage of the data breach by posing as DFB Sales. Be wary of unexpected emails, texts, or phone calls requesting personal information. When in doubt, verify any communication directly with the company through official channels.

Monitor Your Credit and Financial Accounts

Keep a close eye on your bank statements, credit card activity, and credit reports for any unauthorized transactions. Set up account alerts to catch suspicious activity early. Take advantage of free credit reports and review them carefully for unfamiliar accounts or discrepancies.

Consider Freezing Your Credit

For added protection, request a credit freeze from all three major credit bureaus. This prevents anyone from opening new accounts in your name while still allowing you to use your existing credit. If you need to apply for credit, you can temporarily lift the freeze when necessary.
