Even if you don't believe you have ever done business with TMX Finance, your information may be compromised. The TMX Finance family of companies includes title lending companies TitleMax and TitleBucks and alternative lending solutions provider InstaLoan.

According to the notice, the data breach affected 4,822,580 people.

The external system breach occurred on December 10, 2022, but wasn't discovered until March 1, 2023.

The extensive list of consumer information that was compromised includes the following:

• Names
• Dates of Birth
• Social Security numbers
