Details of the O’Connor Corporation Data Breach

The breach, which occurred between November 23, 2024, and December 1, 2024, was detected after the company observed a network disruption on December 2, 2024.

Following the disruption, O’Connor launched an internal investigation with third-party cybersecurity specialists to assess the scope of the breach. The investigation confirmed that an unauthorized individual accessed certain systems and potentially viewed or copied a limited amount of data. A time-intensive review of the exposed data was conducted, and by January 2, 2025, O’Connor determined that affected individuals’ personal information was compromised.

In response to the breach, O’Connor has reinforced its security measures, reviewed existing policies, and implemented additional safeguards and training to prevent future incidents. The company emphasizes its commitment to information security and is taking steps to enhance data protection protocols.

Individuals affected by the breach are urged to remain vigilant against potential identity theft and fraud. O’Connor has not yet disclosed whether it will offer credit monitoring or identity theft protection services.

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from O’Connor Corporation, your personal information may have been compromised. While most victims are officially informed via a ‘‘notice of data breach” in the mail, the consequences—such as fraudulent transactions and identity theft—can begin long before you receive the notice.

Steps to Take If You Were Affected by the O’Connor Corporation Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams

Scammers may try to take advantage of the data breach by posing as O’Connor Corporation. 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.
