Given the firm's role in handling sensitive financial and personal details for its clients, any breach of its systems is concerning.

Upon receiving a data breach notification, it's wise to be proactive. We recommend closely monitoring your financial accounts and credit reports for any unusual activity. Consider placing a fraud alert or even a credit freeze with the major credit bureaus to prevent new accounts from being opened in your name. Remain vigilant against unsolicited emails, calls, or texts, as scammers often try to exploit breach situations.
