Lockton Companies Data Breach Lawsuit

Lockton Companies Data Breach Details

The company immediately launched an investigation, engaged third-party cybersecurity experts, and notified law enforcement.

According to Lockton, the investigation revealed that an unauthorized party accessed a single individual account and computer within its network, obtaining certain files on the same day. Lockton then conducted a thorough review to determine what personal information was exposed and identify affected individuals.

On February 28, 2025, Lockton began notifying impacted individuals, providing details on the compromised information. The exposed data included names and other sensitive details, though the full extent varies by individual. While the company has not reported any evidence of misuse, it is offering 24 months of complimentary identity monitoring through Experian IdentityWorksSM to help protect those affected.

In response to the breach, Lockton has implemented enhanced security measures to prevent future incidents. Affected individuals are encouraged to enroll in identity monitoring services, stay vigilant for potential fraud, and review their financial accounts for suspicious activity.

What Information Was Compromised?

The compromised data may include:

Names
Dates of birth
Social Security numbers
Financial Information
Addresses
Phone numbers
Email addresses

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from Lockton Companies, 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 Lockton Companies Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Lockton Companies. 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.
