Nth Degree Data Breach Affects 25,730 Individuals

On March 24, 2025, Nth Degree Investment Group, a prominent events services and experiential marketing company, discovered a significant data breach that impacted 25,730 individuals across the United States. The breach itself occurred on December 12, 2024, and was later disclosed to several state attorneys general, including Maine, Texas, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and California.

The breach exposed a wide range of sensitive personal and health information including names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, government-issued ID numbers (such as passports and state ID cards), financial information (including account numbers and credit or debit card numbers), health insurance information, medical records, and financial account details.

Both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) were involved, increasing the risk of identity theft and other forms of fraud.

The incident affected individuals in multiple states, with 2,029 people impacted in Texas, 983 in Massachusetts, 29 in New Hampshire, and 13 in Maine. The company notified affected individuals via U.S. Mail beginning April 17, 2025.

Nth Degree Investment Group's response

In response to the breach, Nth Degree Investment Group has taken several steps to support affected individuals and enhance its security posture. The company is offering complimentary credit monitoring services through Cyberscout, which can be activated by visiting https://bfs.cyberscout.com/activate and entering a unique code provided in the notification letter. Affected individuals have 90 days from the date of their notification letter to enroll in these services.

Additionally, Nth Degree has provided detailed guidance on protecting personal information. This includes instructions for placing a free one-year fraud alert on credit files with the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion), as well as steps to implement a security freeze, which restricts access to credit reports and can help prevent unauthorized accounts from being opened. The company also encourages individuals to regularly review their credit reports for discrepancies and to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Given the nature of the information exposed, it is especially important for affected individuals to remain vigilant. Monitoring financial statements, health insurance claims, and credit reports for unusual activity is recommended. If you receive a notification from Nth Degree, consider enrolling in the offered credit monitoring and take advantage of the additional resources and contact information provided in your letter.
