Why you received this letter
Lincoln Retirement Services Company is a financial institution specializing in the administration of retirement plans, pension funds, and long-term investment accounts. As a firm managing sensitive financial assets, they typically collect and store highly confidential information, including Social Security numbers, tax identification details, and comprehensive financial account data necessary for processing distributions and managing retirement portfolios. In 2025, the company officially reported a data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General, confirming that unauthorized access to their systems occurred. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter from the company, it indicates that your personal or financial information may have been compromised during this event. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the identity monitoring services being offered.
