About This Breach
The investigation determined that files containing W-2 and 1099 tax information came into the unauthorized party's possession. The total number of people affected has not been publicly disclosed.
Frederick Goldman is a jewelry design and manufacturing company headquartered in Secaucus, New Jersey. Because the affected files contained W-2 and 1099 documents, the confirmed scope concerns information related to employees and other recipients of company-issued tax forms.
How Did the Incident Occur?
According to the company's official notice, a third party infiltrated its computer systems during June. Frederick Goldman did not disclose when it detected the incident, the specific dates of unauthorized access, or the method used to enter the systems. The available notice therefore does not establish a more precise access window than June 2026.
What Information Was Affected?
The W-2 and 1099 files obtained by the unauthorized party contained names, Social Security numbers, addresses, and remuneration information. The public letter does not list financial-account or payment-card information and does not state whether all four fields were present for every person.
How Did Frederick Goldman Respond?
The company says it worked with incident-response specialists to contain the breach, perform forensic analysis, preserve evidence, and restore affected systems. Affected people were offered complimentary credit monitoring, identity protection, and identity-theft insurance through Experian IdentityWorks, and the company said it was implementing additional safeguards.
What Should Affected People Do?
Notice recipients should review credit reports and tax accounts for unfamiliar activity. If a Social Security number was involved, free credit-freeze, fraud-alert, and IRS Identity Protection PIN options may be considered. Messages claiming to be from Frederick Goldman or Experian should be verified through the official letter or fgoldman.com before opening links.
