No matter how careful you are online, your sensitive personal and financial data could end up in the hands of hackers if a company you do business with directly (or indirectly) ends up falling victim to a data breach. As reported by CyberNews, the debt relief firm Set Forth recently suffered a data breach in which hackers were able to gain access to internal documents stored on the company’s systems. The company itself provides administrative services to Americans enrolled in debt relief programs but it also works with business-to-business partners such as Centrex.

Following this cyberattack, data breach notifications are now being sent out to affected customers. Here’s everything you need to know about the types of data accessed in this attack and what you can do next if your information was exposed online as a result.

In a data breach notification sent to the Maine Attorney General’s office, Set Forth revealed that 1.5 million Americans are impacted by this breach.
