You received a notice about a data incident from Ernst & Young LLP. This means the company recently reported to Vermont authorities, on July 16, 2026, that some of its systems were compromised. You are getting this letter because your personal information was involved.

While Ernst & Young LLP is investigating this incident, the fact that your information was exposed means your data could be at risk. It's natural to feel worried or confused, but there are clear steps you can take right now to protect yourself.

First, carefully read the breach notice you received. Pay close attention to any offers of identity theft protection or credit monitoring services. Enroll in these if they are offered. Also, be extra careful about unexpected emails, texts, or phone calls, as criminals often try to use stolen data for scams.

Next, 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. Regularly check your bank and credit card statements for any unusual activity. If you see anything you don't recognize, report it immediately.

Navigating a data breach can be complex, and you don't have to do it alone. We offer a free, no-obligation review of your situation. We can help you understand what this breach means for you and explore any options you may have, without any cost to you.
