How do I know if my data was included in the Stevens & Day breach?
You should have received a mailed notification dated 8 August 2025. The letter lists the specific categories of information compromised. If you are unsure, contact Stevens & Day directly or the Maine Attorney General’s office.
What compensation is available to Stevens & Day data breach victims?
Potential remedies include reimbursement for fraud losses, credit-monitoring costs after the free year ends, time spent resolving identity-theft issues, and statutory damages under certain privacy statutes.
Is the free credit monitoring enough protection?
Credit monitoring is helpful but limited. It does not stop identity theft; it only alerts you after suspicious activity occurs. Additional steps such as credit freezes and legal action may offer stronger protection.
Do I need to pay upfront legal fees to pursue a Stevens & Day claim?
No. Most data-breach cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless compensation is recovered for you.
How long do I have to act?
Each state sets its own statute of limitations for privacy claims, sometimes as short as one year. Acting quickly preserves evidence and your legal rights.
