AnnieMac Data Breach Impacts 171,000 Customers

The American Neighborhood Mortgage Acceptance Company, doing business as AnnieMac Home Mortgage (“AnnieMac”), filed a notice of data breach with the Attorney General of Maine on Thursday, Nov. 14, disclosing unauthorized third-party access to the independent mortgage bank's (IMB) network occurring on or around Aug. 21, 2024.

The Mount Laurel, N.J.-based seller-servicer reportedly learned of the breach on Oct. 15, 2024, according to the company’s filing with Maine authorities, though a letter sent to impacted customers indicates the company became aware of suspicious activity on certain systems within its network on Aug. 23, two days after the breach.

The filing indicates that 171,074 customers may have had their names and social security numbers compromised in the incident, including 1,313 from Maine.

AnnieMac has offered impacted customers one year of complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services through CyEx, a cybersecurity firm. As necessary, the company has provided written notice of the incident to state and federal regulators, and to the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
