Morton Golf LLC has notified customers that its network was accessed without authorization on or around January 14, 2025. After bringing in outside cybersecurity investigators and conducting a detailed forensic review, the company determined on February 24, 2025 that someone outside the organization may have removed certain files containing personal information. This falls into the category of a hacking or system intrusion, meaning an outsider gained entry to Morton Golf’s systems rather than the exposure resulting from a lost device or an internal mistake.
The letter is addressed to individuals whose files were among those taken, but it does not provide a total count of how many people were notified across all states. If you received a letter, it means Morton Golf has identified your name as being connected to files pulled from its network during this incident.
What exactly was in the files taken from Morton Golf’s network?
- Your name
- An additional piece of personal information described in the letter, but the specific data type was cut off or redacted in the copy filed with the California Attorney General’s office
Because that detail wasn’t legible in the source document we reviewed, we can’t tell you with certainty whether it was a Social Security number, a driver’s license number, financial account information, or something else. The fact that Morton Golf is offering credit monitoring and a $1,000,000 insurance reimbursement policy suggests the missing field may be sensitive, but we won’t guess beyond what the letter states. If you still have your original letter, check the section headed ‘What Information Was Involved’ for the exact wording that applies to you.
To help affected customers, Morton Golf is offering identity theft protection at no cost, including 12 months of credit and CyberScan monitoring, a $1,000,000 insurance reimbursement policy, and fully managed identity theft recovery services. The letter states the deadline to enroll is July 1, 2025; the enrollment website and personal Enrollment Code appear at the top of the printed letter, so check your own copy for those specific details.
Steps worth taking if your name showed up in this notice
- Enroll in the free identity theft protection membership Morton Golf is offering before the July 1, 2025 deadline, and make sure to activate the credit monitoring component once you sign up — it isn’t automatic.
- Place a free fraud alert with one of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion); once one bureau is notified, they’re required to alert the other two.
- Consider a security freeze on your credit file if you want a stronger layer of protection, since this stops new accounts from being opened in your name without your explicit approval.
- Pull your free credit reports at annualcreditreport.com and look closely for accounts or inquiries you don’t recognize.
- Given how many organizations have reported breaches recently, it may also help to sign up for a service like Aura or LifeLock, which can alert you if your personal information turns up somewhere it shouldn’t.
- Keep an eye on account statements over the coming months, and file a police report if you ever spot activity that looks like fraud tied to this incident.
Morton Golf’s letter does not list a specific phone number, email, or legal statute in the version reviewed here, so we can’t pass along contact details or a citation beyond what’s already outlined above — if you need to reach the company directly, check the response-line number printed on your own letter.
