What Personal Information May Be at Risk

Affected individuals should treat any breach notification they receive seriously.

Who May Be Affected

The investigation focuses on current and former Affordable Mortgage Advisors and HMA Mortgage customers whose personal information the company maintained. Anyone who has received a data breach notification connected to this incident may face an increased risk of identity theft and fraud and is encouraged to come forward.
