What happened
On March 31, 2026, 2nd Swing, a golf equipment retailer headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, detected suspicious activity involving its website. The company states that it immediately engaged third-party cybersecurity specialists to investigate. The forensic review determined that an unauthorized individual may have accessed customer information during a 24-hour window between March 30 and March 31, 2026.
2nd Swing completed its file review and address verification on April 20, 2026 and began notifying potentially affected customers on or around May 5, 2026, roughly five weeks after the suspicious activity was first detected. According to the notice filed with the Maine Attorney General on May 7, 2026, the data potentially involved includes customer first and last names, and the company states that its investigation into whether any additional data elements were involved is ongoing. 2nd Swing is offering all notified individuals 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services through Cyberscout.
Because 2nd Swing operates a golf retail website with an e-commerce storefront, customer accounts at the company can contain billing and shipping addresses, payment card information, order histories, and loyalty program details. Whether the company's pre-breach website security practices met applicable legal standards, what additional categories of personal information may ultimately be confirmed as involved, and whether the partial data disclosure adequately informs notice recipients of their exposure are among the issues being evaluated.

What personal information was exposed in the breach? +
