What Happened at New American Funding?
The breach impacting New American allegedly stems from a data compromise at its third-party vendor, Mobile Notary Zone, which provided notary services for loan closings. This breach has likely exposed sensitive personal and financial information, raising alarms about data privacy for those involved.
The breach was first noticed internally on June 6, 2025, when New American Funding learned of unauthorized access to Mobile Notary Zone’s systems. A subsequent investigation concluded that an unknown threat actor had infiltrated the vendor’s network, possibly extracting documents linked to loan closings. These documents may contain names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and financial account details—information perfect for exploitation by cybercriminals.
The privacy risks for all victims are concerning. Exposed Social Security numbers and financial data open the door to identity theft, where criminals can open fraudulent accounts. To begin protecting your privacy, act promptly if you receive a notification, and consider the following actions:
- Enroll in Credit Monitoring: Sign up for Experian IdentityWorks service to track changes to your credit report and get alerts on suspicious activity.
- Monitor Your Accounts: Check bank statements and credit reports for unusual transactions or new accounts opened in your name.
- Freeze Your Credit: Contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to place a credit freeze, preventing new accounts from being opened without your consent.
