CSG Consultants Reports Breach to Maryland Attorney General

CSG Consultants, a professional services and technical consulting firm, filed a data breach notification with the Maryland Attorney General's Office on March 20, 2025. The nature of the breach was not specified in the public record, but it involved unauthorized access to sensitive personal information. This report initiates the process of informing individuals potentially impacted by the security incident.

The compromised data categories include Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Banking and Direct Deposit Details, Government Identification Number, Home Address, and Phone Number. These details are frequently collected by consulting firms due to their involvement in various project lifecycles, personnel management, and client engagements.

Exposure of such a comprehensive set of personal identifiers carries significant risks. Specifically, Social Security Numbers and Dates of Birth are frequently used in identity theft schemes, potentially leading to new accounts being opened in a victim's name or fraudulent tax filings. Banking and Direct Deposit Details, if accessed, could enable unauthorized financial transactions or account takeovers, causing direct financial harm.

Individuals who receive notification about this breach should remain vigilant. It is recommended to regularly review financial statements and credit reports for any suspicious activity. Placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit files with major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) can also help prevent unauthorized accounts from being opened. Additionally, be cautious of unexpected communications, as exposed contact information can be targeted for phishing attempts.
