Received a Data Breach Notice?
Whether or not the company or organization that notified you appears in the table above, if you received a data breach notification or believe your personal information may have been compromised, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and understand your potential rights.
What Should You Do After a Data Breach?
- Read the data breach notice carefully. Determine what personal information may have been involved and what protective services, if any, are being offered.
- Monitor your financial and other accounts. Review account statements and activity for transactions, charges, or changes you do not recognize.
- Review your credit reports. Look for unfamiliar accounts, inquiries, or other activity that could indicate misuse of your information.
- Consider a fraud alert or credit freeze. These measures may help prevent new accounts from being opened using your information.
- Watch for phishing and impersonation attempts. Be cautious about unexpected emails, text messages, calls, or links concerning the breach or requesting personal or financial information.
- Preserve relevant records. Keep the breach notice and records of any suspicious activity, identity theft, fraudulent charges, credit problems, expenses, or other harm you believe may be related to the breach.
Do Data Breach Victims Have Legal Rights?
Consumers affected by a data breach may have legal rights depending on the circumstances. Potential claims may depend on factors such as the type of information involved, how the breach occurred, the security measures in place, whether the information was accessed or misused, any resulting harm or losses, applicable law, and relevant filing deadlines.
Consumers who receive a data breach notice or experience suspicious activity, fraud, identity theft, financial losses, or other harm following a breach should preserve relevant records and consider speaking with an attorney about their potential legal rights and options.
Data Breach Settlements and Consumer Recoveries
Data breach litigation may result in settlements that provide affected consumers with monetary payments, reimbursement for documented losses and expenses, credit monitoring, identity-protection services, or other relief. The benefits available, eligibility requirements, and terms of any recovery vary by case.
Consumers who receive a data breach settlement notice should review it carefully and pay particular attention to eligibility requirements, available benefits, claim procedures, documentation requirements, and important deadlines.
