What Happened in the CSC Data Breach?

Corporation Service Company learned of suspicious activity on its network, took steps to secure it, and launched an investigation with the help of third-party forensic specialists. The investigation determined that an unauthorized actor gained access to a third-party hosted database between August 10, 2025 and August 25, 2025, and copied and took certain files.

CSC then engaged a third party to conduct a comprehensive review of the affected files to identify what information was involved and whom it related to. CSC completed that review on July 15, 2026, when it determined which individuals’ information was in the impacted files and began notifying them.

What Information Was Exposed?

According to the CSC data breach notice, the impacted files may have contained personal information including:

• Full names
• Social Security numbers
• Government-issued identification numbers
• Financial information
• Dates of birth
  
  

This combination of identifiers is exactly what is used to commit identity theft and financial fraud, which is why affected individuals should act promptly to protect themselves.

How Did CSC Respond?

According to its notice, CSC:

• Immediately took steps to secure its network and launched an investigation with third-party forensic specialists;
• Implemented additional safeguards and reviewed its data privacy and security policies and procedures;
• Offered affected individuals 12 months of complimentary single-bureau credit monitoring, credit report, and credit score services through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company (enrollment required within 90 days of the notice date); and
