Perma-Chink Systems Reports Data Security Incident to Maine AG

Perma-Chink Systems, Inc., a manufacturer and retailer specializing in log home sealants and wood care products, has officially reported a data security incident to the Maine Attorney General. The company filed this report on May 27, 2026, confirming that their systems were compromised by unauthorized parties.

The notification indicates that personal information held by Perma-Chink Systems may have been accessed during this security event. While the specific nature of the information involved is not detailed in the public filing, the company is actively investigating the scope and impact of the breach.

Customers who received a data breach notification letter from Perma-Chink Systems should understand that their personal information was likely part of the data accessed. This official communication aims to inform individuals about the incident and recommend protective measures.

If you are among those notified, it is advisable to remain vigilant for any unusual activity related to your online accounts or personal finances. Regularly review statements from banks and credit card companies for any unauthorized transactions.

Consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit reports with the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion). This can help prevent new accounts from being opened in your name using potentially exposed information.

Additionally, be cautious of unsolicited communications, especially emails or calls asking for personal details. Such attempts could be phishing scams leveraging knowledge of the breach to gain further access to your information. Update passwords for critical online accounts and use strong, unique passwords for each service.
