What happened
Cambridge Mercantile Corp. (U.S.A.), which operates under the Corpay name, reported a data security incident to the Massachusetts Attorney General on September 14, 2026. According to the company, it identified unauthorized activity in its systems that potentially exposed a limited amount of customer information. Corpay states that it launched an investigation with the assistance of third-party cybersecurity experts and implemented additional security and monitoring safeguards across its systems.
The company reports that its comprehensive review to identify the individuals whose information was involved was completed on August 28, 2026, and notice letters followed. The regulator filing identifies 34 affected individuals. The categories of information reported as potentially involved are name, Social Security number, and contact details such as an email or physical address. Corpay is offering complimentary identity monitoring through Kroll, which includes credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity theft restoration. Neither the date the unauthorized activity occurred nor the date it was discovered appears in the public notice, so the full length of the notification delay cannot be determined from the filing.
Corpay states that no passwords or authentication credentials were involved, that customer funds, payment processing, and core services were not affected, and that it has found no evidence of fraud or identity theft connected to the incident. Because a Social Security number cannot be readily changed, its exposure carries a long-term risk of identity theft, fraudulent account openings, and tax fraud. Whether the safeguards Corpay had in place met the standards required under state and federal law is among the issues being evaluated.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard it. Your letter contains the Kroll membership number needed to activate identity monitoring and is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit.
Enroll in the free Kroll identity monitoring
Activate the Kroll identity monitoring offered in your letter by following the enrollment instructions and before any deadline stated in the letter. Accepting this benefit does not waive your right to pursue legal action.
Place a fraud alert or credit freeze
Contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to place a fraud alert or freeze on your file. Request a free weekly credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, and use the FTC's IdentityTheft.gov recovery guide.

I received a data breach letter from Corpay. What should I do? +
Keep the letter, activate the free Kroll identity monitoring using the instructions and membership number it contains, place a fraud alert or security freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, review your bank and credit card statements for unfamiliar activity, and contact a data breach attorney for a free consultation.
