What happened at Pennsylvania Farm Bureau?

The Pennsylvania Farm Bureau (PFB) reported to the Attorney General of Maine that the sensitive personal identifiable information (PII) in its possession may have been compromised during a data security incident later year. According to the sample breach notice sent out, on December 5, 2024, PFB became aware of suspicious activity on its IT network and started an investigation

The exact type of personal information potentially exposed has not been made clear, however, in similar cyberattacks the following types of persona data have been leaked:

• Name
• Address and e-mail address
• Dates of Birth
• Social Security number
• Driver’s license or state identification number
• Financial account information

As a result of the data breach, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau began sending out data breach notification letters to all known impacted individuals. If you receive a letter from PFB, it is important to understand the risks of fraud and identity theft. Victims are urged to minimize the risks and contact an attorney to learn more about ongoing data breach litigation.
