Kemper Sports Management, based in Northbrook, IL, is a golf course and hospitality management company overseeing more than 140 golf courses, sports venues, private clubs, and destination resorts across the nation.
On April 1, 2024, Kemper Sports Management experienced a data security breach, allowing an unauthorized third party to access certain files within their network. These compromised files contained highly sensitive personal information of current and former employees and customers. Affected individuals began receiving notifications by mail on September 9, 2024.
Kemper Sports Management has disclosed that 62,815 people’s highly sensitive information was breached. Information accessed within the breach includes names and Social Security numbers.
Kemper Sports Management’s recent data breach is a serious matter that could inflict far-reaching consequences for those affected. The exposure of personally identifiable information, especially names and Social Security numbers, poses a significant risk of identity theft, such as criminals opening financial accounts, taking out loans, filing fraudulent tax returns, and obtaining government services in the victim’s name. Personally identifiable information can also be exposed on the Dark Web, which poses a serious threat toward the privacy and safety of many individuals. According to a recent FTC survey, the total cost of identity theft is nearly $50 billion per year, with victims losing an average of nearly $5,000 from the misuse of their personal and financial information. The exposure of protected medical information can pose an even greater danger of identity theft—such as obtaining medical services in the victim’s name, which will be charged to the victim.
Current and former employees and customers of Kemper Sports Management have been exposed to a heightened risk of fraud and identity theft and must now closely monitor your financial accounts. You could be at risk of incurring additional out-of-pocket costs for purchasing credit monitoring services, credit freezes, credit reports, or other protective measures to deter and detect identity theft.
