On July 19, 2024 CreditRiskMonitor.com, Inc. (“Company” or “CRMZ”) detected unauthorized occurrences within its computer network. Upon detecting the unauthorized occurrences, the Company immediately activated its incident response plan and began taking steps to contain, assess and remediate the incident, including
conducting an investigation with third-party cybersecurity specialists. CRMZ reported the incident to law enforcement and continues to cooperate with law enforcement’s investigation. The incident has not had a material impact on the Company’s
operations, and its information systems have continued to be fully operational.
The Company’s investigation determined that certain files stored within CRMZ’s computer environment may have been viewed or copied by an
unauthorized actor between July 8, 2024 and July 17, 2024. CRMZ reviewed the files that could have been viewed or copied to determine whether any sensitive information was contained within those files. The
Company’s investigation concluded that personally identifiable information of employees and independent contractors, not customers, may have been viewed or copied by an unauthorized actor. Although CRMZ is not aware of any attempted or actual
misuse of that personally identifiable information, on October 8, 2024, CRMZ issued notices to individuals whose personal information was stored within the impacted files so that they may take steps to protect their information, if they feel it
is appropriate to do so. CRMZ is offering access to credit monitoring and identity theft protection services at no cost to those individuals for twenty-four (24) months.
As of the date of this filing, the incident has not had a material impact on the Company’s operations. The Company has not yet
determined that the incident is reasonably likely to materially impact the Company’s overall financial condition or its ongoing results of operations. However, the situation remains fluid and CRMZ will continue to assess if and when such
developments are reasonably likely to impact its financial condition and results of operations.
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, which are any predictions, projections or other statements about future
events based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, which are described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.
Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and the Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the Company’s expectations.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
