PDCM Insurance Data Breach Notice (Vermont Attorney General)

A Social Security number belonging to one Vermont resident has been exposed in a data breach at PDCM Insurance. The filing, submitted to the Vermont Attorney General on September 29, 2026, lists Social Security numbers as the information involved.

Because a Social Security number cannot be changed or reissued on request, this exposure is permanent. Unlike a credit card or password, it does not expire and retains its value to identity thieves for years. If you were notified by PDCM Insurance, this record is now outside the company’s control and could be used to open accounts, file fraudulent tax returns, or commit other forms of identity fraud in your name.

Social Security Numbers Create Long-Term Risk

The record establishes that Social Security numbers were exposed. No passwords were exposed. This means the immediate risk is not to your PDCM Insurance account itself but to your broader identity. Criminals can combine a Social Security number with publicly available information to impersonate you with banks, employers, or government agencies.

PDCM Insurance is required to notify affected individuals directly, usually by mail. If you received a letter from the company, you are in the group of one person named in this filing. Absence of a letter usually means your information was not included, though anyone who has moved since the incident should contact PDCM Insurance directly to confirm their status.
