What happened
On May 28, 2026, Manager on Call, LLC ("Manager on Call"), a human resources consulting firm, reported that it had been targeted by a social-engineering email attack. According to the notice, an attacker impersonated the company's chief executive officer and sent an urgent request that tricked staff into bypassing secure transfer protocols and emailing W-2 files. One employee's 2025 W-2 was included in the disclosure.
Manager on Call mailed notification on or around May 28, 2026 and reported the incident to the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs on May 29, 2026. The notice states the compromised file contained full name, home address, calendar-year 2025 wage information, and Social Security number. The company says it is offering complimentary credit-monitoring and identity-restoration services through Experian, with activation details to follow in a separate email.
Whether the company's pre-breach security practices and employee anti-phishing training met legal standards is among the issues being evaluated. Exposure of a Social Security number together with wage information can heighten the risk of tax-related identity theft and fraudulent tax-return filing.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard it. Your letter contains the enrollment details for credit monitoring and is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit.
Enroll in the free Experian credit monitoring
Enroll in the Experian credit-monitoring and identity-restoration services offered in your letter once the activation email arrives. 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.
Because a Social Security number and wage data were exposed, consider filing IRS Form 14039 (Identity Theft Affidavit) and requesting an IRS Identity Protection PIN to reduce the risk of fraudulent tax filings.
