PMA Consultants Discloses Data Breach to Maryland Regulators

PMA Consultants, a firm specializing in project and construction management, officially reported a data security incident to Maryland regulators on March 17, 2025. The filing indicates that a breach of its digital infrastructure occurred, leading to unauthorized access to internal systems. While the specific nature of the breach remains unspecified, the report confirms a compromise of sensitive records held by the company.

The exposed information includes critical personal identifiers. Affected individuals' Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Home Address, and Phone Number were part of the compromised data. This broad range of data types presents various risks to those impacted.

The exposure of such detailed personal and financial information creates a heightened risk of identity theft and financial fraud. With Social Security Numbers and direct deposit details potentially compromised, affected individuals may face unauthorized access to existing accounts, fraudulent tax filings, or attempts to open new credit lines in their name by malicious actors.

Individuals who receive a formal notification regarding this breach are advised to take immediate steps to protect themselves. This includes carefully reviewing all financial statements and credit reports for any suspicious activity. Placing a fraud alert or security freeze on credit files with the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) can help prevent unauthorized accounts from being opened. Regularly changing passwords for online accounts and enabling multi-factor authentication where available are also recommended precautions.
