\n

At least 5.6 million people<\/a> had their names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social<\/a> Security numbers stolen in a data breach at 700Credit, a company that runs credit checks and identity verification services for auto dealerships across the United States.<\/p>\n

In a statement on its website<\/a>, the Michigan-based company blamed the October data breach on an unidentified bad actor.<\/p>\n

According to Michigan\u2019s attorney general<\/a>, the hacker stole personal data collected from dealers between May and October 2025.<\/p>\n

The company said it was now sending letters by mail to individuals whose information had been stolen in the data breach, which offers credit monitoring services.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you get a letter from 700Credit, don\u2019t ignore it,\u201d said Michigan attorney general<\/a> Dana Nessel. \u201cIt is important that anyone affected by this data breach takes steps as soon as possible to protect their information. A credit freeze or monitoring services can go a long way in preventing fraud, and I encourage Michiganders to use the tools available to keep their identity safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
