The North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors has reported a data incident that is currently under investigation. If you recently received a notification letter from the Board, it means your personal information may have been compromised during this event.

While the specific types of personal information involved in this incident have not been detailed, any exposure of your data can lead to significant concerns. Malicious actors often seek personal details for identity theft, fraud, or other harmful activities. Understanding the potential risks is the first step in protecting yourself.

We advise anyone affected to remain vigilant. Carefully review any unsolicited communications, such as emails or texts, that claim to be from the Board or other familiar organizations. Also, regularly monitor your existing online accounts for any unusual activity. Be cautious about clicking on links or providing personal details in response to unexpected requests.

When organizations collect and store your personal information, they have a legal responsibility to safeguard it. A data breach indicates a failure in this duty, and victims may have legal grounds to seek compensation for the inconvenience, risk, and potential harm caused by such incidents.
