Berendsen, Inc., a company specializing in industrial services and textile rental, has formally reported a data security incident. The company disclosed that unauthorized parties gained access to its internal systems, potentially compromising personal information. This incident was reported to the Montana Attorney General on December 18, 2025.

The breach is noted to have occurred on or about May 14, 2025.

As part of its operations, Berendsen, Inc. collects and maintains personal information, including details often used for employee payroll and identification. Individuals who received a formal notification letter from Berendsen, Inc. should understand that their personal information was likely part of the data environment affected by this unauthorized access.

It is advisable for individuals who have received a notification to remain vigilant. Review statements from financial institutions and other service providers for any unusual activity. Consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit reports with the major credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.

Additionally, be cautious of unsolicited communications that request personal details. Verify the legitimacy of any such requests directly with the organization concerned through official contact channels, not through links or numbers provided in suspicious emails or messages. Regularly change passwords for important online accounts.

What to do if you were affected

These general steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud after any data breach.

  • Stay alert to targeted scams

    Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.

  • Keep your notification letter

    Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.
