The Siegel Group Data Breach Class Action Investigation

Written by Console & Associates P.C. | Apr 2, 2025 4:53:24 PM

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent The Siegel Group data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at The Siegel Group, which may have affected numerous individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information including names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, passport information, and financial data.

 

What Happened?

A recent report from the Vermont Attorney General's office states that The Siegel Group data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident. Security monitoring systems detected unusual network activity on February 2, 2025, prompting an investigation. The subsequent forensic analysis revealed that unauthorized access to their computer network occurred over a five-day period between January 28, 2025 and February 2, 2025.

During this window of vulnerability, threat actors gained access to confidential files and may have exfiltrated significant amounts of sensitive consumer data. The exposed information varies by individual but could include names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, passport numbers, state identification cards, alien registration numbers, direct deposit account numbers, signatures, and medical information.

Data breach notification letters were sent out by The Siegel Group on March 31, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and specifically which categories of their personal data were compromised in the security breach.

 

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach

  1. Monitor all accounts and credit reports closely
    1. Set up alerts for suspicious activity
    2. Review all financial statements thoroughly
    3. Request free credit reports and examine them for unauthorized entries

  2. Consider freezing your credit
    1. Contact all three major credit bureaus to place a freeze
    2. Understand this prevents new accounts from being opened in your name
    3. Remember to temporarily lift the freeze when applying for legitimate credit

  3. Look out for phishing attempts using information from the The Siegel Group data breach
    1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from The Siegel Group
    2. Don't click on suspicious links or download unexpected attachments
    3. Verify all communications through official channels

  4. Change passwords for affected accounts
    1. Create strong, unique passwords for each account
    2. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
    3. Consider using a password manager for better security

  5. Enable two-factor authentication where possible
    1. Add this extra layer of security to all important accounts
    2. Use authenticator apps rather than SMS when available
    3. Keep backup codes in a secure location
