Gunster Yoakley & Steward P.A. has announced an ongoing investigation into a data security incident affecting individuals in Delaware. The specific nature of the breach remains unspecified in public disclosures at this time, but the firm is actively working to understand the full scope of the event.

The compromised information includes several sensitive categories. Individuals impacted by this incident may have had their Social Security Numbers, Dates of Birth, Home Addresses, Financial Account Numbers, and Drivers License Numbers exposed.

While the exact breach date and the total number of affected individuals have not been disclosed, the investigation is proceeding. These details are typically provided as part of regulatory filings once the full impact is determined.

Individuals who believe they may be affected should remain vigilant. It is recommended to carefully review financial statements and credit reports for any suspicious activity. Placing a fraud alert or security freeze on credit files can also provide an additional layer of protection against unauthorized use of personal data. Additionally, be cautious of unsolicited communications requesting personal information.

What to do if you were affected

Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.

  • Freeze your credit

    Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.

  • Watch your financial accounts

    Review bank and card statements for unfamiliar activity and turn on transaction alerts. Report anything you don't recognize to your bank right away.

  • Replace exposed ID documents

    Contact your state DMV or the issuing agency about replacing an exposed driver's license, passport, or government ID number.

  • 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.
