New American Funding, LLC, a residential mortgage lender, filed a data breach notification with the California Attorney General’s office on July 11, 2025. The official notification document submitted in that filing appears to be a scanned image rather than searchable text, so the specific details of what happened — including how the incident occurred and what triggered it — could not be extracted for this summary. Because of that, we cannot say with certainty whether this was a hacking incident, an issue involving a third-party vendor, or something else.
The filing does not include readable information about how many people were affected or which state residents received notice. If you received a letter directly from New American Funding referencing this incident, that letter is the most reliable source for details specific to your situation, including what information of yours may have been involved.
What information was exposed?
- The specific categories of personal information involved in this incident were not disclosed in the readable portion of the official filing.
- Mortgage lenders typically hold sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, financial account details, income and employment records, and government-issued ID numbers, so it’s reasonable to treat this notice with caution even without confirmed details.
- Check any letter you received directly from New American Funding, as it should list exactly what data of yours was involved.
No information about free credit monitoring or identity protection services being offered by New American Funding was available in the readable filing. If you received a physical letter, check it for any enrollment offer, activation code, or deadline, since that information may not have carried over into the public regulatory filing.
What should you do now?
- Read any letter you received from New American Funding carefully, since it should contain specifics this filing does not.
- Request your free credit reports from all three major bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) and review them for accounts or inquiries you don’t recognize.
- Because mortgage-related records often include Social Security numbers and financial account information, consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with the credit bureaus as a precaution.
- Watch your bank, credit card, and loan statements closely for unfamiliar activity over the coming months.
- Be cautious of unexpected calls, emails, or texts claiming to be from New American Funding or a mortgage servicer asking you to confirm personal details.
- Consider signing up for a service like Aura or LifeLock, which can alert you if your information appears elsewhere, such as on data broker sites or the dark web.
- If you’re concerned about how vendor-related incidents unfold, it can help to see how other companies have handled similar situations, such as this ransomware attack on Super Systems Inc.
