TransUnion Data Breach Exposes Personal Information of Over 4.4 Million Customers

Pittman, Dutton, Hellums, Bradley & Mann, P.C. is investigating a data breach involving TransUnion, one of the nation’s three largest credit reporting agencies. The breach has potentially compromised the personal information of more than 4.4 million individuals in the United States.

‍

What Happened In The TransUnion Data Breach?

On July 28, 2025, TransUnion experienced unauthorized access to a third-party application used for its U.S. consumer support operations. The company disclosed the incident in a filing with the Maine Attorney General’s Office.

‍

While TransUnion stated that “no credit information was accessed,” it has not yet provided evidence to support this claim. The company has not disclosed the exact categories of personal information compromised, and it remains unclear whether TransUnion has fully determined the scope of the data stolen.

‍

The identity of the attackers is also unknown. Unlike other recent high-profile breaches attributed to the extortion group ShinyHunters, TransUnion has not publicly identified those responsible, nor has it confirmed if any ransom demands were made.

‍

What Information Was Exposed?

At this time, TransUnion has not specified which data types were compromised. However, given that the breach impacted its consumer support operations, the exposed data may include personally identifiable information (PII) such as:

• Names
• Contact details (phone numbers, email addresses, mailing addresses)
• Dates of birth
• Account information related to customer support interactions

‍

TransUnion has not yet confirmed whether Social Security numbers, government IDs, or financial information were exposed.

‍
