Ingram Micro Inc. has sent breach notification letters to individuals about a data security issue the company says it identified around July 2 and July 3, 2025. The portion of the letter available to us does not describe exactly how the incident occurred or name a specific attack method, so we can’t confirm whether this involved hacking, ransomware, or another cause. We’ll update this article if more detail becomes available.
The letter does not state how many people were notified in total or provide a detailed breakdown of who is affected. It’s addressed to an individual recipient, which suggests Ingram Micro is notifying people on a case-by-case basis rather than issuing one uniform statement about scope.
What information was exposed?
- The specific data elements involved (for example, Social Security number, financial account details, or health information) were not spelled out in the text of the letter we reviewed.
- The company is offering credit monitoring, dark web surveillance, and identity restoration services, which typically points to exposure of sensitive personal identifiers, but this notice does not confirm that directly.
Ingram Micro has arranged two years of complimentary Experian IdentityWorks credit monitoring and identity protection services, including a credit report at sign-up, ongoing credit monitoring, internet/dark web surveillance, identity restoration support, and $1 million in identity theft insurance. To enroll, visit https://www.experianidworks.com/1Bplus and use the activation code included in your mailed letter. You must enroll by April 30, 2026 by 11:59 PM UTC, after which the code will no longer work; you can also call 833-931-5455 by that date if you’d prefer not to enroll online.
What should you do now?
- Enroll in the free Experian IdentityWorks monitoring before the April 30, 2026 deadline, since it includes credit monitoring, dark web surveillance, and $1 million in identity theft insurance at no cost to you.
- Request your free annual credit reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion at annualcreditreport.com and review them for accounts or inquiries you don’t recognize.
- Consider placing a fraud alert or a security freeze on your credit files with all three credit bureaus, which can make it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name.
- Because the letter does not specify exactly what data was involved, it’s worth treating this as high-risk and signing up for a service like Aura or LifeLock, which can alert you if your personal information turns up in places it shouldn’t.
- Watch your financial account statements closely over the coming months, and report any unauthorized activity to your bank or card issuer right away.
- If you spot signs of fraud, file a report with local police and with the FTC at identitytheft.gov, and keep a copy for your records.
If you have questions, Ingram Micro can be reached at 833-931-5455, Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 8 PM CST (excluding major U.S. holidays).
