Prizm Media, Inc. (“Prizm”), a Canadian marketing company that has now ceased operations, has disclosed a data breach following unauthorized access to an employee’s email account.

While there is no confirmed evidence of data misuse, Prizm Media is notifying those impacted and taking proactive steps to minimize potential risks. Affected individuals are urged to stay vigilant by monitoring financial statements, updating passwords, and watching for phishing attempts. For guidance on safeguarding your information after this incident, explore this resource on how to respond effectively to a data breach and minimize potential harm.

Details of the Prizm Media Data Breach

The breach, which took place between April 28 and July 4, 2023, may have compromised personal information belonging to individuals associated with the company. On July 3, 2023, Prizm was alerted to suspicious activity in an employee’s email account and immediately launched an internal investigation with the help of third-party forensic specialists.

The review, completed on September 26, 2024, confirmed that unauthorized access had occurred and that certain personal information may have been exposed. As an added precaution, Prizm is offering affected individuals access to complimentary credit monitoring services for up to 12 months at no cost.

What Information Was Involved?

The compromised data includes names and other sensitive information, though the specific details vary by individual.

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from Prizm Media, 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 Prizm Media Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams

Scammers may try to take advantage of the data breach by posing as Prizm Media. 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.
