Investigation notes
Urban One, Inc. is a prominent media conglomerate specializing in urban-oriented content, including radio broadcasting, television, and digital media platforms. As a media and entertainment company, they typically collect and store sensitive personal information such as employee payroll data, subscriber contact details, and potentially financial information for advertising clients or contest participants.

If you have received a formal data breach notification letter from the company, it indicates that your personal information was likely stored within their network at the time of the incident. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific details regarding the exposure and the identity protection services being offered.
