Pride Solvent & Chemical Co., Inc., along with its affiliates Pride Solvent & Chemical Co. of NY, Inc., and Pride Solvent and Chemical Co. of New Jersey, Inc., filed a data breach notification with the Maine Attorney General on June 4, 2026. These entities operate as specialized industrial chemical distributors and suppliers across the northeastern United States.

The companies indicated that they experienced an unspecified cybersecurity incident. Such events typically involve unauthorized access to internal systems, potentially compromising databases that hold sensitive information related to employees or other individuals associated with the company.

According to the filing, the exposed data types include individuals' Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Home Address, and Personal Telephone Number. The compromise of such detailed personal and financial identifiers can lead to significant risks, including identity theft, fraudulent financial transactions, and unauthorized access to accounts.

If you have received a data breach notification letter from Pride Solvent & Chemical companies, it is important to review the details provided carefully. It is strongly advised to monitor your financial accounts and credit reports for any suspicious activity. Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit files with the major credit bureaus to help prevent unauthorized credit applications. Always remain vigilant against unsolicited communications that ask for personal information, as these could be phishing attempts.

What to do if you were affected

Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.

  • Freeze your credit

    Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.

  • Guard against tax fraud

    File your tax return as early as possible and consider requesting an IRS Identity Protection PIN so no one can file a fraudulent return in your name.

  • Watch your financial accounts

    Review bank and card statements for unfamiliar activity and turn on transaction alerts. Report anything you don't recognize to your bank right away.

  • Stay alert to targeted scams

    Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.

  • Keep your notification letter

    Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.
