USUnited States · FL · ADT, Inc.

ADT (FL, United States) notified the Washington Attorney General and the Texas Attorney General of a data breach on 28 July 2026.

The breach began on 20 April 2026, 99 days before it was reported.

If ADT had your data

  1. Look for ADT, Inc.’s own notice or letter: it should say what of yours was involved. Keep it.
  2. An ID number cannot be changed, so lock it: a credit freeze or fraud alert in the US, a credit warning (kreditadvarsel) on borger.dk in Denmark, Cifas protective registration in the UK.
  3. Expect scams that use your details: calls, texts or emails pretending to be ADT, Inc., your bank or the police. Never give codes or passwords, never approve a sign-in you did not start, never move money.

One email to confirm first. We use your address only for this alert, and one click deletes it.
