The Job Shop Data Breach – Investigated by Federman & Sherwood
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (October 6, 2025) – The law firm of Federman & Sherwood announces an investigation into a recent data breach involving The Job Shop, a San Francisco–based employment services company. According to a notice filed with the Attorney General of California, The Job Shop was notified on August 14, 2025, that a company providing IT services to the organization had experienced a cybersecurity incident which may have compromised sensitive employee information.
The investigation revealed that, around mid-June 2025, an unauthorized threat actor gained access to The Job Shop’s remote desktop server, managed by its IT vendor, and may have exfiltrated certain files.

As part of its response, The Job Shop is offering 24 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection through Equifax Credit Watch™ Gold, which includes credit monitoring, web scans, automatic fraud alerts, and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance.
