Have you been affected by Ulrich Investment Consultants's data breach?

Ulrich Consulting & Investment Group, LLC, operating as Ulrich Investment Consultants, has announced a data breach following a cyber attack that compromised sensitive consumer data. Those affected are encouraged to remain vigilant by monitoring their financial accounts and credit reports for any unauthorized activity.

Ulrich Investment Consultants Data Breach Details

The breach, which was identified on October 31, 2024, occurred when suspicious activity was detected within an employee’s email account.

Upon discovering the breach, Ulrich secured the compromised email account and immediately enlisted a team of external cybersecurity experts to conduct a thorough investigation. The investigation confirmed that the email account had been accessed without authorization, exposing various emails and attachments containing confidential information of certain individuals.

The company completed a review of the impacted files on February 24, 2025, and determined which consumer data had been exposed. On February 28, 2025, Ulrich Investment Consultants sent out personalized data breach notification letters to affected individuals. These letters include details on what specific information was compromised, though the company’s public filing does not specify the exact nature of the exposed data.

What Information Was Compromised?

The compromised data may include:

  • Full Name

  • Social Security Number

  • Financial Information

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from Ulrich Investment Consultants, 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 Ulrich Investment Consultants Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Ulrich Investment Consultants. 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.
