The bank reported to Massachusetts authorities on July 14, 2026, that some customer information may have been compromised. This news can be unsettling, but taking clear steps can help protect you.
While the exact details of how the incident occurred are still being investigated, financial institutions like Monson Savings Bank handle a great deal of personal information. This type of incident means that unauthorized individuals might have gained access to your data. The bank is working to understand the full scope of what happened.
Your first step is to carefully read the notice from Monson Savings Bank. It might contain specific advice or offers of credit monitoring. Even if it doesn't, it is always wise to be extra vigilant. Keep a close eye on any financial statements and look for unusual activity on your accounts or credit reports.
Consider placing a fraud alert with the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion). This is a free service that makes it harder for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. You should also be very careful about unexpected emails, texts, or calls asking for your personal information, as these could be phishing attempts.
