Barnhart Crane & Rigging Company, Inc., a heavy lift and specialized transportation provider, recently experienced a cybersecurity incident. This incident led to the unauthorized exposure of personal information. The company reported this security failure to the Vermont Attorney General on May 21, 2026.

Receiving a notice about a data breach like this can be unsettling. It means that information connected to you was accessed by unauthorized parties. This can create a risk of identity theft, fraud, or other misuse of your data by those who gained access to it.

Your first step should be to carefully read the notice you received from Barnhart Crane & Rigging Company, Inc. It might contain specific advice or offers of credit monitoring services. Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit reports with the three major credit bureaus. This makes it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name without your permission.

Next, make it a habit to regularly review your financial statements, credit card accounts, and explanations of benefits from your health insurer. Look for any charges or activity you don't recognize. Report anything suspicious immediately to the financial institution and consider changing passwords for any important online accounts.

Because personal information, once exposed, can be difficult to change, it's important to remain vigilant for an extended period. Scammers can hold onto stolen data for months or even years before attempting to use it. Continuing to monitor your accounts and credit reports is a good long-term strategy.
