Investigation notes
Liberty Lock and Security appears to be a physical security and locksmith services provider, managing sensitive access control systems and residential or commercial security infrastructure. In the course of their business operations, they typically collect and store client names, home or business addresses, contact details, and potentially sensitive information related to security system configurations or key-code access logs. This data breach was officially reported to the Maryland Attorney General in 2025, confirming that the security of their internal systems was compromised. If you received a data breach notification letter from the company, it indicates that your personal information was likely involved in this incident. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the identity monitoring services being offered.
