Have you been affected by United Domestic Workers of America's data breach?

On January 17, 2025, the United Domestic Workers of America (UDW) reported a significant data breach affecting their members’ sensitive personal information. Although details are still being uncovered, this breach has already raised important concerns for those who may be impacted. Affected individuals are advise to remain vigilant by reviewing their personal records and monitoring their credit reports regularly.

United Domestic Workers of America Data Breach Details

The breach was first detected when UDW identified an unauthorized attempt to access its IT network on January 17, 2025. The organization responded promptly, securing its network environment and immediately launching an investigation with the assistance of independent cybersecurity experts. This investigation is still ongoing, but UDW has confirmed that personal and HR-related data may have been exposed to unauthorized parties.

According to UDW’s filing with the Attorney General of California, the compromised data could include sensitive information such as members’ names, Social Security numbers, and addresses. At this time, UDW has not received reports of identity theft or misuse related to the breach, but the investigation continues as they work to assess the full scope of the incident.

To help those affected, UDW has provided credit monitoring services to impacted individuals. These services include:

  • Single Bureau Credit Monitoring: This service will alert members if any changes occur on their credit file.

  • Single Bureau Credit Report: A report will be made available to affected members, allowing them to track their credit history.

  • Single Bureau Credit Score: A free credit score will be provided to impacted individuals.

These services are offered for twelve months from the date of enrollment at no charge to UDW members who were affected by the breach.

What Information Was Compromised?

The information exposed in the breach may vary by individual, but it could include the following:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Social Security number
  • Email
  • Date of birth
  • Driver’s license number
  • Health information

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from United Domestic Workers of America, 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 United Domestic Workers of America Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as United Domestic Workers of America. 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.
