In response to this incident, JM Bullion notified law enforcement, card processor, and the credit card brands, and continues to work with them as needed.

The company also reviewed its internal procedures and implemented additional safeguards on its website to protect customer information in their possession, reads JM Bullion’s notice.

The company suggested the following steps for the customers to protect their identity and uncover any deceitful activity on their accounts.

  • Watchful to review your account statements and monitor your credit reports for suspicious activity.
  • You can place a “security freeze” on your credit report which prevents potential creditors from accessing your credit file.
  • As an alternative to a security freeze, you can also place an initial or extended “fraud alert” on your file at no cost.
  • Can contact the consumer reporting agencies, the Federal Trade Commission, or your state Attorney General for your protection.
