Affected individuals are urged to remain vigilant by regularly reviewing their personal information and monitoring their credit reports for any suspicious activity.

Food for the Poor Data Breach Details

The breach was first detected on September 6, 2024, when Food for the Poor, Inc. identified unusual network activity. The organization promptly initiated an internal investigation, which revealed that unauthorized access had occurred between September 2 and September 6, 2024. The breach involved a portion of the organization’s network, and the organization immediately began reviewing the compromised data.

The investigation was completed on March 7, 2025, at which point the organization began notifying affected individuals, including those in Maine. Food for the Poor, Inc. also took swift action to secure their network and prevent further unauthorized access, including resetting network passwords and notifying law enforcement.

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from the Food for the Poor, 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 Food for the Poor Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Food for the Poor. 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.
