It is important to note that individuals who purchased tickets for performances online or at a box office location were not impacted by this event.

What Happened? On November 21, 2021, Nederlander became aware of suspicious activity in its environment. We immediately took steps to secure our network, and launched an investigation with the assistance of third-party experts to determine the nature and scope of the incident. Through the investigation, we determined that Nederlander was the target of a cyber-attack that impacted our network and that certain files were subject to unauthorized access. As such, we reviewed the contents of those files to determine what information was contained therein and to whom it related. Upon completion of this review on October 21, 2022, we then worked diligently through November 14, 2022 to reconcile this information with our internal records to confirm the individuals whose information may have been affected and the appropriate contact information for those individuals to the extent possible.

What Information Was Involved? The information potentially impacted varies by individual. Our investigation determined that impacted information may include certain individuals’ names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license number, medical information, medical insurance information, dates of birth, digital signature, financial account number or credit card information. Again, while we have no evidence of any actual or attempted misuse of this information, we are providing this notice in an abundance of caution.

What We Are Doing. Nederlander treats its responsibility to safeguard information in its possession as an utmost priority. As such, we have been working diligently to provide individuals with an accurate and complete notice of the incident. Our response to this event also included prompt reporting to federal law enforcement. As part of our ongoing commitment to the privacy and security of personal information in our care, we are reviewing our existing policies and procedures relating to data protection and security. We are also investigating additional security measures to mitigate any risk associated with this incident and to better prevent future incidents. We are also providing notice of this event to state regulators, where required.

As an added precaution we are offering impacted individuals access to 12 months of credit monitoring and identity theft protection services through Experian at no cost to them.

What You Can Do. We encourage you to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing your account and monitoring your free credit reports for suspicious activity and to detect errors over the next 12 to 24 months. Please review the enclosed “Steps You Can Take to Help Protect Your Information.” You can also enroll to receive the complimentary credit monitoring services that we are offering to impacted individuals.

Steps You Can Take to Help Protect Personal Information

Monitor Your Accounts

Under U.S. law, a consumer is entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. To order your free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1-877-322-8228. You may also directly contact the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below to request a free copy of your credit report.

Consumers have the right to place an initial or extended “fraud alert” on a credit file at no cost. An initial fraud alert is a 1-year alert that is placed on a consumer’s credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert display on a consumer’s credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer’s identity before extending new credit. If you are a victim of identity theft, you are entitled to an extended fraud alert, which is a fraud alert lasting seven years. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, please contact any one of the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below.

As an alternative to a fraud alert, consumers have the right to place a “credit freeze” on a credit report, which will prohibit a credit bureau from releasing information in the credit report without the consumer’s express authorization. The credit freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in your name without your consent. However, you should be aware that using a credit freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal and financial information in your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any subsequent request or application you make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving the extension of credit. Pursuant to federal law, you cannot be charged to place or lift a credit freeze on your credit report. To request a security freeze, you will need to provide the following information:

  1. 1. Full name (including middle initial as well as Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.);
  2. Social Security number;
  3. Date of birth;
  4. Addresses for the prior two to five years;
  5. Proof of current address, such as a current utility bill or telephone bill;
  6. A legible photocopy of a government-issued identification card (state driver’s license or ID card, etc.); and
  7. A copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency concerning identity theft if you are a victim of identity theft.
