Have you ever been worried about whether your personal information is out there somewhere? You're not by yourself: a breach at
Motility Software Solutions affected approximately
760,000 people. That’s a big number and it matters.
What Happened
On
September 12, 2025,
Motility made public the breach after discovering that some suspicious activity started on
August 19. Immediately, they disconnected the affected server, hired security professionals, and contacted law enforcement. Customer names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers were compromised.
Why Would That Give People Pause?
So, what’s the big deal? Because all of this information equips scammers to inflict legitimate damage. To open credit, file false tax returns, or steal your identity? Wouldn’t you want to stop that before it happens?

My Backstory
I had a small bank account hacked once, and I went through months of inconvenience and stress that could have been avoided had I acted sooner after discovering it was happening. Trust me when I say, it is so much easier and way less stressful to take action today. Don't procrastinate, it is just a leaky pipe in the home, fix it!
Final Thoughts
Data breaches are unnerving, mainly because they are really a little too personal to attain a greater emotional response. 760,000 people's information was hit, and you were likely one of the victims. Forward available accounts, join the class action if you see a legal notice and definitely change your passwords.
