The official Maryland AG notice for Amalgamate Processing Inc dba Advanced Foam Recycling identifies the following exposed data:
Each exposed category makes the claim stronger. Courts treat unauthorized disclosure of this information as actionable harm.
Amalgamate Processing Inc., doing business as Advanced Foam Recycling, operates within the specialized waste management, chemical processing, and recycling sector. While industrial recycling and foam processing may not initially sound like data-intensive operations, companies of this scale and operational complexity function as intricate corporate enterprises. Advanced Foam Recycling maintains extensive administrative, logistical, and human resources infrastructure to manage large-scale commercial supply chains, vendor networks, transportation logistics, and a substantial workforce. Consequently, the organization routinely collects, processes, and stores a wealth of sensitive personal and corporate data, including comprehensive employee records, payroll details, vendor banking information, and proprietary operational documentation.
In 2025, Advanced Foam Recycling reported a significant data security incident to the Office of the Attorney General for Maryland. While industrial processors may not be traditional financial institutions or healthcare providers, modern operational networks rely heavily on connected enterprise resource planning systems, digital vendor portals, and centralized databases. Incidents affecting companies in this sector typically involve sophisticated cyberattacks, such as unauthorized network intrusions, ransomware deployments, or third-party vendor compromises that exploit vulnerabilities in supply chain software. These breaches often provide malicious actors with unauthorized access to internal servers where sensitive administrative and personnel files are stored.
The exposure resulting from the Advanced Foam Recycling data breach compromises multiple categories of highly sensitive information, each carrying severe risks for affected individuals. Because enterprise networks often store comprehensive personnel and business partner files, exposed data frequently includes full legal names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, wage and compensation records, and banking details utilized for direct deposit or vendor payments. The compromise of Social Security numbers and banking details creates an immediate and long-term danger of identity theft, financial fraud, unauthorized credit applications, and tax-related scams. Victims face prolonged vulnerability, requiring constant monitoring of credit reports and financial accounts to mitigate ongoing threats.
As an entity handling sensitive personally identifiable information, Advanced Foam Recycling had a strict legal obligation under Maryland state data protection laws and common law principles of negligence to implement and maintain reasonable cybersecurity safeguards. These legal standards require organizations to utilize robust encryption, multi-factor authentication, regular network vulnerability assessments, and strict access controls to protect sensitive data from external threats. The occurrence of a widespread data security breach strongly suggests a failure in these critical security protocols, raising serious questions about whether the company fulfilled its legal duty to safeguard the private information entrusted to its care by employees and business partners.
Receiving a data breach notification letter from Advanced Foam Recycling is an official acknowledgement that your personal information was compromised due to inadequate corporate data security measures.

Our firm handles these complex class action cases on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket, and there are no fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
